The Poop Museum

The Poop Museum covers the serious science of poop and pooping, and is delivered with the silliness that you might imagine accompanying a program about poop. It's the perfect combination of fun, and fabulous, fascinating facts, so that kids (and parents) never forget what they learned. 

Some of the questions we answer in the program include: 

• What is poop?

• Does every animal poop? (Spoiler: NO!)

• Does every animal have a butt? (Spoiler: NO!)

• Is there really sweet, tasty poop that you can eat? (Spoiler: YES!)

• Is there really poop that you can play in? (Spoiler: YES!)

• Who is the world’s messiest, fartiest, pooper?

• Which animal does a poop dance? 

• Which animal has poop attack power? 

• Which animal eats their mom’s poop?

• and much more! 

During the program we cover many different kinds of animal and insect poops, but we also talk about human poop, including: 

• Why is it brown? 

• Why is it stinky?

• Why is there corn in it? 

The kids will also have the chance to eat some poop! Well, Poop Honey. It’s honey that bees make from Aphid Poop (also known as Honeydew).

About the presenter: The Poop Museum started life as an online program, created by Susie Maguire. The idea for The Poop Museum arrived on October 3rd 2020, as Susie was sitting in her back yard. She and her nephew Henry, shared a love of lavatorial humour, and were always leaving each other funny poopy messages. Susie decided to write Henry a book. It was called “Attack of the Notorious Poop Monkey” and the story was set in A Poop Museum. Susie loved the idea so much that she launched The Poop Museum program the same day, and the rest is history.

This program is free, and sponsored by the Friends of the Southbury Public Library.
