5 Things: Brooklyn Museum's Target First Saturday and Seed Swap at Old Stone House

1. Get to the Museum. It's that time of the month! For April, Target First Saturday has the theme of Workt by Hand: Hidden Labor and Historical Quilts. Even if that doesn't grab you, you can see music and dance performances, do a hands-on art project, listen to a book reading, go on a curator tour or just look at the museum's art yourself, all for free. Brooklyn Museum, 5-10 p.m.

2. Swap some seeds. Don't miss the 8th Annual Spring Seed Celebration & Swap at The Old Stone House. Join the annual celebration of making things grow all around the Old Stone House & Washington Park! 336 3rd St, at 10 a.m., free for all. 

3. Spring into Spring. The bird are singing, the sun is shining and cherry blossoms are beginning to bloom. Fully experience the change of season at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Tour. Eastern Parkway at Washington Avenue, 1 p.m. with $10 admission. 

4. Help out a Kid from Kenya. Have an old soccer ball or pair of cleats? Today you can donate them to Kicks for Kenya, a drive to collect soccer equipment for the children of Nairobi's Kibera slum. Don't have anything. Your cash is welome, too. Drop off your stuff at 456 14th St. bet. 8th Ave. and Prospect Park West anytime between 9 and 5. 

5. Go to the market. Get your fresh groceries in the open-air Park Slope Farmers Market on Sunday on Fourth Street, right off of Fifth Avenue, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The vendors are all local farmers and food producers who bring fresh, seasonal produce, breads, sustainable meats and fish, baked goods, and small-batch specialties. 337 5th Ave, at Fourth Street in front of PS 51.
