Don’t bother brushing your hair on Saturday, just head to downtown Everett.
Imagine Children’s Museum is the regional site for Crazy Hair Day, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Crazy Hair Day is a national initiative promoting the power of literacy through a featured children’s book, “Crazy Hair Day” by Barney Saltzberg. Meet Saltzberg at the event as he reads stories and sings songs. Better yet, take your noggin to the Crazy Hair Salon and get the craziest hairstyle you’ve ever had.
Copies of “Crazy Hair Day” signed by famous people such as Seattle Seahawk Matt Hasselbeck, Jay Leno, Martha Stewart and “Seasame Street” Muppet Elmo will be auctioned. Bids begin at $30 and should be submitted no later than noon.
If the family has gotten used to the wet this season and they don’t mind a little more, a trip to the Seattle Aquarium might just be what you have in mind.
Family First Sundays begin on Sunday and include craft projects for kids from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The crafts are free with aquarium admission and no registration is needed. The theme for April is sea stars.
Meet divers in the Underwater Dome and Pacific Coral Reef exhibit and watch them feed the animals. Kids and adults can learn about animals that live in the waters of Puget Sound. Activities at these events, held April 8 through 16, include kid’s crafts, talks and demonstrations.
If music is more your thing, then enjoy an evening at Granite Falls Library for “Hans Mayer’s Ear Tickling Music for Kids” from 7 to 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Mayer, a recording artist, will perform humorous, ear-tickling child-oriented music. His performances include songs such as “My Brother Eats Bugs,” and Mayer plays the mandolin and Native American flute. There will be lots of audience participation at this event that’s sure to keep kids captivated and provide many happy songs for the ride home.
