Stay busy this summer with a Busy Box from the Children’s Museum of Eau Claire! The museum cancelled its summer camps due to COVID-19, but they are working to re-open as safely and as responsibly as possible, according to Mandy Runge, vice president of development. (The target date is July 1; read more here.) In the meantime, they are working on virtual programs and activities to fill your summer with engaging, exciting activities. Busy Boxes are available in a multitude of forms, from ordering just one box to ordering a subscription of boxes. “The boxes will include one art project, one science kit, a coloring page from our brand-new CMEC coloring books, a gift from our gift shop that (kids) will know about, and then a surprise gift that they won’t know about!” Runge said. Busy Boxes range in price from $15-30 and can be ordered from childrensmuseumec.com.
