Fun Free Digital Activities For Families

The National Museum of Women in the Arts has released a variety of fun and free digital activities for families on the NMWA @ Home portal, such as audio stories, coloring books, videos, and an arts-based curriculum.

Here are just a few of them. And the list goes on!

* Story Time with Women in the Arts, where you can listen to museum staff reading children’s picture books authored or illustrated by women

* Downloadable Coloring Books featuring artworks from the museum’s collection

* Interactive See For Yourself art cards, a unique way for kids to engage with artworks and discover new cultural facts

* Art, Books, and Creativity (ABC), a visual and language arts curriculum that is designed for parents to easily teach the arts at home. The curriculum, which is available in English & Spanish, includes 14 lesson plans, high-resolution images, artists’ biographies, book-making instructions, a vocabulary list, and short video clips.

* Weekly photography discussions – Every Monday, The New York Times posts a photo without a caption and invites viewers to join a live discussion about what they see, moderated by NMWA educators, among others.

NMWA @ Home is a portal to explore the work of great women artists with links to online exhibitions, collections, artist profiles, talks and news as well as art podcast and video recommendations. New content for all ages is added regularly: https://nmwa.org/nmwa-at-home
