Museum’s Children’s Club: 🌲🎨 Painting a Caribbean Pine Christmas Tree 🎄✨

In December the Children’s Club gathered for a joyful “Learn to Paint” session, where creativity and holiday spirit came together beautifully.

• 🖌️ Guided by instructor Aysha, the children explored painting techniques while learning about the Caribbean Pine.
• 🎄 With festive imagination, they transformed the pine into a Christmas tree, complete with colorful decorations and bright holiday cheer.
• 🌟 The activity celebrated both local heritage and the magic of the season, giving the children a chance to express themselves while connecting with nature.

The Museum is proud to support these creative experiences that nurture young talent and highlight the beauty of our Caribbean environment.

Together, the children proved that art is not just about painting—it’s about storytelling, culture, and joy. 💫

The Club is paid for by sales of Where is Simon, Sandy and Satchi and Little Star books.

The Turks and Caicos National Museum was proud to once again host a free SPCA veterinary clinic, bringing compassionate care to the island’s beloved pets and their families. This partnership reflects the museum’s deep commitment to community well-being—not just through preserving history, but by supporting the lives and stories unfolding today.

Painting Salt’s Tail – A Splash of Inspiration during a special museum painting class, children dove into the story of Salt, a beloved humpback whale known for her distinctive tail and decades of ocean journeys. Guided by Local Artist Aysha, the children’s imagination and marine science, each child painted their own version of Salt’s iconic fluke—celebrating her legacy as one of the most famously tracked whales in the Atlantic. The activity blended art and education, connecting young artists to the wonders of the sea and the importance of conservation.

The Children’s Club is sponsored by sales of the Where Is Simon, Sandy? And Satchi and Little Star books written by Donna Seim.

Mosaic Class

A vibrant mosaic created by the imaginative hands of our youngest artists now graces the museum wall. The mosaic depicts an underwater scene with all of the Sealife creatures created by children from the Museum Children’s Club. This joyful artwork celebrates the spirit of Turk & Caicos through playful colors and heartfelt designs, transforming the wall into a lasting tribute to youthful expression and our beautiful by nature ocean that surrounds us.

Special Thanks to Lisa Wandres and the volunteers that assisted with the Children’s Club and the mosaic.
