Are you looking for a new, creative experience while getting out and socializing with friends? Have a drink and get your hands dirty with Plant Nite! The sister company of well-established Paint Nite, Plant Nite started one year ago in Boston and has finally arrived in Westchester!

In select restaurants and bars across the county, people 21 and over are guided by a local host while planting their very own terrarium. Plant Nite is creative entertainment that allows people to socialize and drink as they would on a regular night out, but with something new and revolutionary: Plant Nite puts an empty planter, a variety of succulents, and a local gardening enthusiast in the mix to give people a real reason to leave the house. With events featuring hardy succulents, fragrant herb plants and colorful sand art, at Plant Nite the combinations are endless, even if you don’t quite have a green thumb.

​But Plant Nite isn’t just about plants, it’s about the experience. It’s a 1.5 hour party where you can enjoy a mojito, spend time with with friends and meet new ones. It’s about getting creative, trying something new and digging in the dirt.

Plant Nite is a local business run and operated by local artists, entertainers and gardeners. It’s hosted by people who are passionate about miniature plants and a good cocktail. Plant Nite is currently hosted at Don Coqui in White Plains, O’Connor’s Public House in Mount Kisco, Uno’s in Yonkers, Rockwells in Pelham and Burkes Bar and Restaurant in Yonkers and is quickly growing. With so many places to choose from, there’s an option for everyone. In addition to public events, Plant Nite also hosts private events!

So when you need a night out to let loose and be creative, you can find your next event here. Remember to use coupon code WestchesterNyMoms for 30% off all your Plant Nite tickets!

1. Lighthouse & Slide- depicting the Sleepy Hollow Lighthouse, this slide comes complete with a mirror inside and a window for playing peek-a-boo. 

2. Library Nook- cozy up with a great book with your child(ren). Check out the amazing cereal box collage artwork on the wall from  local renowned pop artist Michael Albert.

3. Toddler Beach- a large soft play area for toddlers. A great spot for parents to relax while the little ones have a blast.

4. Build Your Own Roller Coaster- mix and match different tracks to create your own unique roller coaster. Stairs help little children reach the top of the hills so that they can place balls on the tracks and watch them go (over and over)!

5. Wind Tunnel- grab a streamer, cup or paper bowl and watch it fly to the sky! A great way for little ones to learn science while having a blast (yes, over and over).

6. Magnets- have fun exploring with magnets. Use a handheld magnet and watch the colors on the screen magically change. Or try the floating magnets.

7. Giant Organ- use magnets and lift the sides of the organ to make it sing. Have fun  pressing different buttons to hear a range of notes.

8. Shadow Puppet Theater- have fun interacting with shadows and watching them dance.

9. Keva Planks- build your own train, house, airplane or whatever you can imagine using planks (or have fun watching them tumble  down).

10. Events- the Westchester Children's Museum now offers ongoing events and birthday parties (great if you want to do something new and different!).

• Kids Crafts- 1st Saturday of Each Month
• Museum Minis- Thursdays at 10:30am

See more events on the Westchester Children's Museum website.

1. The average stretchy bracelet is 7." You will use the top channel on a bead board to measure the length of your design.

2.    Design away!

3.  A piece of tape is helpful to use to stop beads from falling off the cord once strung- believe me...it happens more than you'd think!

4. String the beads onto the cord!

5. Double check that the bracelet will be long enough to fit your wrist. The bracelet in the photo was too short so I added two more beads to each side. You can remove the tape to do this but be careful your beads don't slip away!

​6. Once the bracelet is at its desired length, you will need to tie two square knots to finish it off.

​7. Put the right end on top of the left end, then tuck the right end under the left end.

​8. Repeat this knot but start with the opposite side than what you started with. Put the left end over the right end.

​9. Tuck the left end over the right end. Now you will see the "square" of the square knot!

​10. Once you see the square, pull very tight! It is unlikely that you will snap the cord. 

​11. Use your glue to cover your knots. In a pinch, you can use clear nail polish instead of glue! Wait at least twenty minutes for the glue to set.

​12. Cut the ends off of your bracelet but be careful not to cut the knot!

​13. Crimp Covers are a little piece of metal that kind of looks like a clam shell. They can be used to cover the knot and they appear to be just another bead!

14. Cover your knot with the crimp cover. If you would like, you can fill the middle of the crimp cover with Hypo-Cement. This glue will bond to the cord and the metal.

​15. Viola! You have just created a beautiful, trendy bracelet. 

This is also a great project to do with kids! Bead Everything has little letter beads and fun colors that kids will love. You can even use wooden beads and Onyx to create a simple bracelet for men.
