The Red Dog Children’s Museum is hitting the road again as its roaming season kicks off, bringing hands-on, play-based learning experiences to communities across Southwest Kansas. Through interactive exhibits and outreach events, the mobile museum continues to spark curiosity and creativity while expanding access for families who might not otherwise experience a children’s museum.

Want to bring the magic to your town? Now’s the time to book an event and be part of a growing movement centered on wonder, discovery, and community connection.

There’s a certain kind of energy that comes with spring around here…

📖 International Children’s Book Day (April 2)

There’s something powerful about a story.

It can take you somewhere new…
help you see through someone else’s eyes…
or remind you that your own story matters, too.

At Red Dog, we believe books are more than just pages—they’re invitations.
To imagine. To ask questions. To feel. To grow.

Whether it’s a quiet moment in a cozy nook or a child proudly “reading” their favorite pictures out loud, those early experiences with stories shape how kids see the world—and themselves in it.

Today, we’re celebrating the storytellers, the dreamers, and the little voices turning pages (sometimes all at once 😉).

📚 What’s your child’s favorite book right now?
We’d love to hear—it might inspire the next great adventure.

We may have just taken coloring… a little too far.

Starting this season, kids won’t just see their drawings come to life—

They’ll see them step out into our 3D world.

🎨 Draw it
📡 Scan it
🌈 Watch it come to life - for real

Welcome to our newest exhibit:
“Imagination Incubator”

Where:
🐄 Cows might be purple… or polka-dotted
🐓 Chickens might wear roller skates
🚜 Tractors might sprout wings
🦬 And nothing has to follow the rules

Every child’s drawing becomes part of a shared, living 3D world—
changing, growing, and getting a little wilder with every visit.

🖍️ Happy National Crayon Day! 🖍️

Today we celebrate one of the most powerful tools in a child’s imagination — the crayon. With just a few colors and a blank page, kids can create dinosaurs, spaceships, prairie sunsets, bison herds, or whole new worlds.

At Red Dog Children’s Museum, we believe creativity starts with simple tools and big ideas. So grab some crayons, scribble boldly, color outside the lines, and see where your imagination takes you!

What’s your favorite crayon color? 🎨

🌾 March 24 is National Agriculture Day!

Here on the High Plains, agriculture is part of our everyday story. The food we eat, the clothes we wear, and even many of the things we use each day all begin with the hard work of farmers, ranchers, and growers.

At Red Dog Children’s Museum, we love helping kids discover where things come from — from seeds in the soil to the food on the table. National Ag Day is a great time to thank not only farmers but ALL the people who help feed, clothe, and fuel our communities.

Together we grow. 🌱

🐾 It’s National Puppy Day!

A day dedicated to the tiny paws, big personalities, and chaotic zoomies that make life a little brighter.

You may have seen this pup accompanying us to some of our events. This is Konza (and she has her own FB page) Konza’s Korner, and she is the bestest girl! Her hooman is our very own Vice-Chair Lindsay Butterfield! Lindsay is a physical therapist with CommonSpirit - St. Catherine Hospital and Konza is a service dog from KSDS Assistance Dogs, Inc who works right alongside Lindsay! We have a relatively new activity at our roaming events called "Konza's Kindness Club" and kids can make buttons, magnets and keychains...but the only catch is they have to make two - one to keep and one to give back to patients at the hospital that might be in need of a little pick me up. (We'll feature that more later on this year!)

Drop a photo of your pup in the comments—we’re ready to see the good boys and girls of the internet today. 🐶
