Now that the kids are out of school and playgrounds are wet and cold, many houses are a little loud for the holidays. Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville has a solution for at least some of that time.

Winter Break Wonders at Crystal Bridges will offer special activities each afternoon, including artmaking, creative play, movement activities, art carts, visits by nature experts, music and more from 1 to 4 p.m. Dec. 22 to Jan. 2. These events are all free with no tickets or reservations required. More information at crystalbridges.org/calendar/winter-break-wonders-2.
