CMOM’s annual egg hunt goes big this year with the Puppet-Palooza Scavenger Hunt: New

York Edition! Families will explore the entire museum in search of eight hand-painted puppet

Easter eggs, each one inspired by classic NYC kid moments: A yellow cab egg, a skyline egg, a

deli picnic egg, a Broadway egg, and yes—an homage to NYC rats!



Each egg was handmade by CMOM staff artists—a celebration of creativity, storytelling, and

what it means to grow up in the city.



Kids who complete the hunt receive a prize and enjoy a full lineup of puppet-themed

programming across all three floors of the museum.
