A LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
A Fantastic Fall
The last sounds of summer are fading
away into ringing school bells and the
crinkle of leaves. The museum is full
of sounds of laughter, adventure and
roaring dinosaurs!
“Your children and grandchildren Dinosaurs: Dawn of the Ice Age
We hope you’ll be able to see the mighty beasts in Dinosaurs: Dawn of the Ice Age
are learning with every activity
this fall. The dinosaurs love Halloween and get very excited about kids visiting in
they participate in at the
costume on Healthy Trick-or-Treat Nights – especially when they’re dressed up as
dinosaurs. Join us for all the special events and activities where the whole family
museum.”
As we look forward to another school
year, Omaha Children’s Museum has
been revisiting our core mission and
vision. Our mission continues to be “to
engage the imagination and create
excitement about learning.”
By delivering on our mission, we
strengthen the lives of children today
and in the future.
OCM focuses our programming on
the importance of free play in a child’s
development and future learning. Your
children and grandchildren are learning
with every activity they participate in
at the museum. We want to share that
learning with you and help you take
these experiences home.
Look for expanded family learning
opportunities throughout the museum
and we hope you leap into fall with
youngsters anxious to learn!
will enjoy ghouls, ghosts and growls!
Cobweb Castle: The Not-So-Scary Haunted House
Everyone’s favorite not-so-scary haunted house is returning for another year of
Halloween fun! Cobweb Castle will be open October 1-30 and will feature the
Spooky Graveyard, Find-Your-Way Forest, Pirates Parlor, Kooky Kitchen, Casper’s
Closet and Vampire’s Batty Bedroom. Look for our new , fun activities outside the
castle this year!
Healthy Trick-or-Treat Nights
Can’t wait for Halloween? Healthy
Trick-Or-Treat Nights are the perfect
way to try out the costumes before
the big night and to enjoy a safe and
healthy trick-or-treating experience!
Sponsored by Whole Foods Market and
Oriental Trading Company, these nights
(October 20 and 27, 5:30-7:30 p.m.)
offer healthy treats for kids to collect at
various stations around the museum.
Free with admission
Healthy Trick-Or-Treat Nights bring out the beast in little visitors
Take-Home Halloween
Have a picky eater at home? Your little goblin will gobble up these fun ideas for
Halloween-themed packed lunches!
Spooky Shapes: Cut melon, pineapple or carrots into fun Halloween shapes using
bat, pumpkin, or ghost cookie cutters.
Mummy dogs: Wrap hot dogs in strips of refrigerated crescent roll
dough. Bake according to crescent roll directions. Dot with two ketchup
or mustard “eyes”.
“Pumpkin” Quesadillas: Cut away some of the top of the tortilla to create
a “stem”. Cut eyes and a mouth out of the tortilla. Put the pumpkin
tortilla in a greased skillet for a minute to brown. Remove from pan. On a
second whole tortilla, place ¼ cup of your kids’ favorite shredded cheese
and put into a greased skillet until cheese is melted. Place “pumpkin”
tortilla on top and enjoy!

Museum Awarded
Prestigious Grant
FROM THE INSTITUTE OF MUSEUM AND LIBRARY SERVICES
T
hanks to a grant from the federal Institute of Museum and Library
Services (IMLS) Omaha Children’s Museum will continue to strengthen
its community-engaged exhibit program, which brings local organizations
and businesses together to create hands-on exhibits for the children and
families of the community.
This is the museum’s first IMLS grant and it
comes at a momentous time - during our
35th year. Omaha Children’s Museum is the
only museum in Nebraska to secure an IMLS
grant in 2011 and will receive $150,000 over
three years.
Through the community-engaged exhibit program to date, partners from
the community along with the museum staff have created favorite visitor
exhibits including Construction Zone and Big Backyard. The communityengaged exhibits on the horizon will continue to delight visitors, they
include: Construction Zone: Return of the Bulldozer (Winter 2011), Itty Bitty City
(Winter 2012-13) and Things That Go (Winter 2013-14).
Museums for America is the Institute’s largest grant program for museums,
supporting projects and ongoing activities that build museums’ capacity
to serve their communities. Museums for America grants strengthen a
museum’s ability to serve the public more effectively by supporting
high-priority activities that advance the institution’s
mission and strategic goals.
