BOOKS ALIVE
Fun opportunities with book characters
Our Books Alive program features several visits per year by beloved children’s book characters. At each event, children can listen to a story, enjoy literacy activities and fun crafts, as well as meet the book character and pose for photos.
All activities are included with admission and FREE for members. Online reservations strongly suggested.
Friendly costumed characters are on the museum floor from 10–10:30am during morning play sessions (9am–noon) and from 2–2:30pm during afternoon play sessions (1–4pm)

Story Explorers
Story Explorers is a sponsored literacy program that the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire brings virtually to Head Start centers in Strafford and Rockingham county. This free programs brings videos of storybook characters (same as Books Alive) to each center 3 times a year. Videos show Museum Educators reading stories alongside the characters and engaging children in book related activities. Each child receives a free pass for a family of four to visit the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire, information about our EBT program, and a free book at the end of the program. The program is a spin off of Books Alive.
