Are you looking for things to do with the children in the DC Maryland area this Easter? The children are ready to get out of the house and burn off that stored up winter energy and there are many events going on, besides egg rolls, that will be great for the whole family. Do something different this year. Get adventurous, you don’t have to go to far, just around the DC Maryland area. The children will have quite a story to tell when they get back to school.

April 7 Egg Drop Design Competition
This is an unusual event. A combination of fun and education. This is one time the children will try not to make a mess. The event takes place this year on Saturday, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm or 2:00 – 4:00 pm. During this “eggceptional” program, families design a container using only one piece of paper and a rubber band to protect an egg when dropped 24 feet from the Museum’s second-floor balcony. Which eggs will survive the fall? A little bit of engineering education for the whole family. $4 per project Museum members; $10 per project non-members. Recommended for children ages 7 and older. Registration required; call 202.272.2448, ext. 3413.
