Highlighting Huntington Curricula

Each month, Kristin Brisbois examines a different segment of The Huntington’s diverse learning resources, crafted by Huntington educators and staff for learners of all ages. These resources include interactive images, videos, hands-on activities, and more!

Mindful Moments
Tue., May 7 | 3:30–4:30 p.m. | Zoom

These short guided and unguided videos promote mindfulness and well-being by focusing viewers on the calming sights and sounds of objects found at The Huntington.

Color Our Collections

Engage your students with coloring pages of objects, artworks, and plants found within The Huntington’s collections.

Each coloring page comes with such extension activities as object histories, videos, helpful terms, and questions.
