Bringing kiddos to the MFA St. Pete is always a good experience (especially when a croissant from the museum’s Clementine cafe is involved), but talking about painting and works of art only gets you so far with a four-year-old.

Painting In the Park is a good resolution. Attendees get a “Painting In The Park Passport” that guides them through 10 activity stations as they create make-and-take masterpieces inspired by the MFA Collection, earn stamps, then get a prize. The MFA says it’ll have activities for “toddlers, tweens, and in-betweens.”

There’s no cover for MFA St. Pete’s Painting In the Park festival happening Saturday, May 11.
