Busy Builders
It can be difficult to find the right family activities when you have children of different ages. The Children's Museum of the East End addresses this situation by offering LEGO Club. Older siblings are dropped off to construct works of art from Legos while the rest of the family explores the museum. Their creations are displayed until the next club meets. If you'd like to donate unwanted Legos to help develop the program, call the museum or email [email protected]. Saturdays, 10am-12pm.
Children's Museum of the East End, 376 Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor Turnpike, Bridgehampton. 631-537-8250. www.cmee.org.
