Our take
4/5A building project gives an Eli Whitney Museum & Workshop birthday a satisfying focus for children who like making things. Apprentice educators lead the project for the first hour to hour and a half, with the rest of the two-hour booking available for food and gifts. The offering is for ages 3 and up.
The $220 deposit covers the first 10 children, and additional children cost $22 each. Parents bring food; the museum supplies projects, tables and stools. Book at least two weeks ahead, or three for a wider project selection. Leave latex balloons and piñatas off the decoration list.
