"I'm bored," said no kid ever at the Children's Museum of the Arts. This nonprofit brings hands-on art programming to young artists from 10 months to 15 years. Kids can get their hands dirty with a variety of mediums, including a clay bar, collage station and paint table. If this was not enough excitement, they can also blow off additional steam in the ball pit. Drop-in story-time has included such famous readers as Neil Patrick Harris. The gallery is small, so if possible, make time for an organized workshop, such as a board game design afternoon or a still-life class with a focus on the young artists' favorite foods.
