1. Marshmallow Peeps Nest STEAM Challenge (Shrewsbury)

In this delicious STEAM challenge kids in grades 2-5 will use their creativity and problem-solving skills to build a cozy and safe nest for marshmallow Peeps! Please note: We will gladly hold your spot for 10 minutes past the scheduled start of the program. After that, we may offer your spot to someone who is waiting. Please plan your arrival accordingly. Tuesday, April 22nd from 12pm-1pm at Shrewsbury Public Library. Register in advance. Free. 


2. πŸŸ Help Stock Trout in Worcester 🐟

School is out, help stock trout! The public is invited to help MassWildlife stock trout during school vacation week! Meet MassWildlife fisheries staff, view trout up close, and learn about places to fish near you. Join us at one of the following stocking events. Wednesday, April 23rd from 11am-1:30am at Regatta Point in Quinsigamond State Park at 10 Lake Avenue North. Drop in. Free.

Register in advance for this fun literacy night! Last day to Register is April 21, 2025 to get your supplies. Thursday, April 24th at 6pm via Zoom. Free.


4. Henry the Juggler (Westborough)

Come be amazed by Henry the Juggler and his zany attempts to defy the laws of gravity. He juggles any number of balls, clubs, rings, members of the audience . . . He balances strange items on the tip of his nose. Everything is accomplished wordlessly as Henry uses body language (and road signs!) to express himself. Caution: Henry is known to use innocent bystanders in his act. This show is supported in part by a grant from the Westborough Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. Friday, April 25th from 2-2:45pm at the Westborough Public Library. Best for ages 4 and up. Preregister. Free.


5. Family Makerspace (Shrewsbury)

Take part in this series of low-tech STEAM programs geared to families. We will provide the prompts, materials, and equipment to encourage hands-on learning, creativity, collaboration, problem-solving, and more! Saturday, April 26th from 2-4pm at the Shrewsbury Public Library. Drop in. Free.
