Kids' Room
Activities include mushroom silk dyeing, clay sculpting, face painting, button art, even a treasure hunt! In fact, this room full of wonder also has examples of the different kinds of mushrooms that grow in the Bay Area, with someone to help explain what they are. Fun and education for the whole family.
Taste, touch and smell—kids love to use their senses to discover many of the varieties of mushrooms we have displayed in the Kid’s Room. Crafts, such as making clay mushrooms, mushroom scavenger hunt, button making, and dying fabric with mushroom dyes, are offered along with story-telling sessions. What color mushroom do you want painted on your face?
The Kids' Room is open Saturday and Sunday from 10 to 4 for children to learn and have fun in the company of their adult companion.
