Drop-in during Museum hours on the third Saturday for guided crafts and fun for kids of all ages. See below for our schedule of activities in our cozy classroom. No reservations are required and crafts are free. See our local history and art exhibitions, experience guided and free-play art activities, and explore our toy and book nook.

Storytime is at 11:00 AM; drop in for crafts between 11:30-2:30.

September 19: Pet Parade | Hayward hosted a Pet Parade for 30 years, so we are hosting a small one at the HAHS Museum. Bring your favorite STUFFED pet in for a pet-themed storytime and parade, then make some crafts inspired by your favorite animals.

October 17: Día de Los Muertos | HAHS’ annual Day of the Dead exhibit is on display in-house throughout October. Join us on the third Saturday for a festive Family Fun Saturday. Families can learn about the origins of the celebration through the art of local artists, and create their own art in our classroom with a few Día de Los Muertos themed crafts.

November 20: Native American Heritage | November is Native American Heritage Month! Learn about the Ohlone’s lives in the area before the arrival of Spanish settlers. Practice weaving and create your own version of the Ohlone stave game.
