Family Program: Holiday Poppers

Connecticut Museum of Culture and History 1 Elizabeth St, Hartford, CT, United States

Celebrate the holidays at CMCH with our annual popper craft! Poppers (or “crackers”) were first invented by a London pastry chef in the 1840s, and since then have become timeless favorites. Make a personalized popper to use as a gift, holiday party favor, or New Year’s Eve noisemaker. We’ll also have a variety of craft supplies available for families to create their own one-of-a-kind holiday cards.
