Kids Create

New for 2022: Join us each month either online via Zoom OR in-person at the museum. You decide how you would like to join us each month.

When you register for Kids Create, we provide a supply kit of materials you will need to complete the project. Basic crafting tools (such as scissors) are not included. However, if you join us in person, they will be available for use.

Your family can create the project at home on your own, join us online for the Zoom demonstration, or join us in-person in the classroom at the museum. Upon purchase/registration, we will email you a link to join us for a live online demonstration via Zoom to complete the project together.

Yes, you will need to register for each person who would like to receive a supply kit. Each supply kit contains the materials to create one project.

Use the ‘Register’ links that accompany the projects under the schedule and fill out the required information and payment fields. Note: if you are a museum member, you must sign in to receive your museum discount. Instructions for the simple registration and sign in process are on the registration page. Need help? We would be happy to register you by phone if you call us at (520) 881-0606 during museum hours. Please have payment information ready.

If you plan to join us online, you will need to register at least one day in advance to allow yourself time to pick up your kit.

If you plan to join us in-person, you can purchase/register at the museum. However, quantities are limited and on a first-come, first serve basis. We recommend advance registration to ensure that a kit will be available.

Supply kits will be available to be picked up at the admission desk of The Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures after the first of the month for the project you registered for during regular business hours; Tuesday through Sunday from 9am to 4pm. We suggest picking up your kit prior to the online demonstration if you plan on joining us live.

If you are joining us in person, you can pick up your kit when you arrive at the museum. We recommend advance registration to ensure there are enough kits when you arrive.

Please show the admission staff some form of identification that lists your name or the name of the participant to receive your kit.

Each kit will contain printed instructions and supplies to complete the project. Projects may require some basic art tools that may not be provided in the kits such as markers, crayons, colored or lead pencils, paints, scissors, and glue. If you are joining us in-person, we will provide some of these additional tools for your use. Participants are encouraged to use their own supplies to customize their projects as they desire. Adult supervision is recommended. Kits may contain small pieces and are not designed for children under 5 years old.

Unfortunately we are not able to ship kits at this time.

While participants are welcome to complete the project independently, a live online demonstration with Q&A will be presented by museum staff via Zoom on the second Saturday of the month from 1pm–2pm.

Instructions on how to join the Zoom presentation will be emailed to registrants upon completion of registration.

If you need assistance using Zoom, please visit the Zoom help center at https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us for guides, training, tutorials, and FAQs.  Museum staff are unable to provide technical support or advice.

Please note that this meeting will be recorded. A link to the recording of the meeting will also be shared with registered participants and will be active for viewing until the end of the month.

If you missed, or elected not to attend, the live online demonstration, the recording will be accessible to registrants through the end of the project month. Kits and instructions may still be picked up through the end of the month at the museum during regular museum hours.

In most cases, yes! Please contact our Education Director by email at mackenziem@theminitimemachine.org or 520-881-0606 ext. 113.

Kits that are not picked up or claimed after the end of the month will be considered a donation to TMTM. Refunds will not be possible except in extreme situations or if the program is cancelled by the museum. Refund requests must be submitted by email to mackenziem@theminitimemachine.org by the end of the month.
