Summer Fun Workshops 

 For Young People 



July 9 through August 3 



Come Explore the vast and fascinating world of 

 natural history in a Summer Fun workshop at Field 

 Museum! Children ages 4-13 can journey to Africa 

 and meet the animals that live on the plains and in the 

 forests of this continent, or become a dinosaur sleuth 

 and track the elusive "terrible lizards" through the 

 Museum. Learn to draw Egyptian hieroglyphs, make 

 and fly a kite, or visit the moon — there is something 

 for everyone. Anthropologists, zoologists, artists, 

 dancers, and actors bring their talents and expertise 

 to create informative and creative workshops. 



Summer Fun workshops are offered Wednesdays 

 through Sundays, July 9 through August 3. Work- 

 shops are held throughout the Museum. Enrollment 

 is limited and children must register in advance by 

 mail. Call (312) 322-8854 for Summer Fun brochures, 

 and up-to-date information about workshop 

 availability.

 long ago.

Gourds 



August 16 and 17, l:00-3:00pm 



Don't Eat Your Vegetables?! Gourds are vege- 

 tables like squashes and pumpkins, but the outer shell 

 is more useful than the fruit within. Gourds such as 

 the Bottle, Aladdin's turban, Dipper or Penguin are 

 named for their shapes. Throughout the world, 

 gourds are used as bottles, spoons, pipes, and even 

 extraordinary sculpture. Find out how easily you 

 could grow gourds at home. Prepare a gourd to 

 create your own mask, cup, rattle, or fantastical 

 creation. 



Family Features are free with museum admission and 

 tickets are not required.
