Sensory Saturday | Hands-On with Curious Creations Co.: Spooky Edition

Join us for a boo-tiful morning at the MFA as we welcome families with children with sensory sensitivities to explore the galleries in a calm, quiet environment. On the first Saturday of every month, from 10 am to 12 pm, all rotating audio components in the galleries are turned down or muted to create a more soothing experience. For October, we’re adding a dash of spooky fun to our Sensory Saturday Hands-On program! Drop by the Membership Garden to enjoy Halloween-inspired sensory play and creative activities using non-toxic, sensory-friendly materials. Costumes are welcome (but totally optional)! This month’s “Spooky Edition” activities include: Crafting your own mini witch’s broomstick to practice fine motor skills (take-home art project) Decorating mini plastic pumpkins with paint markers (take-home art project) Working together on a collaborative Halloween mural painting Exploring a spooky slime bin filled with Halloween-themed textures and treasures All ages are welcome, though activities are generally designed for ages 2–10.

Bring the whole family! BECOME A MEMBER ABOUT CURIOUS CREATIONS CO. As a mom to two energetic boys, Celine understands the importance of keeping little hands and minds engaged with fun, screen-free activities. She began creating sensory bins to encourage her oldest son to explore, learn, and play independently—and what started as a simple solution quickly grew into a true passion. Through her business, Curious Creations Co., Celine designs sensory kits, toys, and learning materials that spark curiosity and creativity while promoting fine motor skills, sensory exploration, and imaginative play. Each item is lovingly handcrafted to bring joy, learning, and a little magic into every home. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet moment or watching your child dive into a world of discovery, you can trust that they’re engaged in meaningful, enriching play. Celine is grateful for every family that makes Curious Creations Co. part of their journey—your support means the world! Sensory Saturdays is part of our Picture of Health initiative.

This program fosters a holistic investigation of health, encompassing cognitive, physical, physiological, emotional, civic, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions, all with the aim of nurturing a sense of wellness within our community.
