Halloween Spooktacular: Masters of Disguise edition

This year’s fun goes a little deeper and darker into the life of villains, like the legendary Captain Hook or Cruella de Vil. Before playing that role, enter the dark Den of Disguises at CMOM’s Halloween Spooktacular. The black light effects will add fun to making a mask disguise, creating neon spin art, sporting your glow-in-the-dark tattoo and painting a secret birdhouse lair for your Halloween winged friends. And that’s just the beginning. Be brave and pull up a chair with our favorite scientist as we conjure up Spooky Science. Need a further fanciful disguise? There is no need to worry because face painting stations will be ready to complete your LOOK. There are lots of activities to keep you busy all day. The scavenger hunt will have you search for and learn about toads and bugs that are masters of disguise and reward you with a fun surprise for your effort. Sculpt a clay pumpkin, make a DIY poison apple crayon, challenge your friend to a game of cornhole and build the spookiest of castles with the blue blocks to round out your day. In addition to the other favorite museum exhibits, there will be Halloween candy.
