We’d like to extend a BIG thank you to Christian Robinson (@theartoffun ) for spending two jam-packed days at The Rabbit hOle earlier this month! 🧡

It was particularly meaningful to have Christian as the guest of honor for our first birthday celebrations, because the life-size interactive version of the bus from Last Stop on Market Street was the first complete exhibit The Rabbit hOle built in 2019.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our adults-only evening, family print workshops, and more. It’s always wonderful to see our friends, and humbling to meet people who traveled from other states for these events.

We know it’s spring because we found Bill in the Curious George table bubble!

When the seasons change he updates the constellation projections, so that they match what you can actually see in the night sky during that time of year.

🚨HAVE YOU SEEN THESE PUPPETS? 🚨

Over the weekend the puppets from our Perez and Martina exhibit went missing. Please check your hands, pockets, and bags to make sure they did not go home with you.

Our puppet theater is not complete without Martina's six suitors. We ask that they be returned to The Rabbit hOle – no questions asked.

🎶 When best friends have an outing,
There are jolly times in store.
There are games and there are prizes,
There is also something more.
There is something in a hamper
That is very good to eat.
When best friends have an outing,
It’s a very special treat,
With no boys. 🎵

If you’ve been stuck in your house with your children all week long,
and everyone is feeling quite woebegone.

Join us for Family Night and you will feel fine,
exploring how different illustrators draw and use a simple line!

This Friday, February, 21 at 5:30 p.m. we’re celebrating creators whose linework shows the evolution of American Children’s illustration, including Ludwig Bemelmans, Paul Galdone, Robert McCloskey, and Jerry Pinkney. During the event we'll share stories, explore how line and color interact on a page, and make our own line of paper dolls! (Ages 5+)

Tickets and more info at rabbitholekc.org/programs

Jim told us that he volunteers at The Rabbit hOle because there’s nothing like it anywhere else. “I love to see look on first-timers’ faces. From kids to grandparents, when they see this place, it’s instant love.”

If you’re interested in learning more about volunteering at The Rabbit hOle, our next orientations are Feb. 20 and March 11 at 5 p.m. Learn more and sign up at rabbitholekc.org/volunteer
