Children’s Museum
Today Daddy had the day off and we decided to spend the morning at the Children’s Museum! We actually spent some of our Christmas money to get a yearly membership and after spending all morning there we realized it was totally worth the money! Sweet Pea and I will probably end up spending at least one morning a week there. The whole museum was split up into different rooms and I was very impressed with each. Each room was designed to enhance some aspect of a child’s learning.
The first place we stopped was the sand pit. Here the kids could dig for dinasour bones. As you can see from the picture Sweet Pea was not at all interested in going in. He put one foot in the sand before he decided that the feeling was to weird and insisted that we move on to the next thing.
The next room was designed specifically for ages 0-2. Sweet Pea fits right into this age range and climbed on everything. As you can see the equiptment was the perfect height.
This room also had aquariums filled with fish and various reptiles.
The next room was the fire station room. The fire engine had wheels to drive and a slide down the back. Off to the side there was a closet filled with fire hats and jackets. Just perfect for pretend play.
The next room was a farm. The kids could take bags and fill them with produce then “sell” them at the farmer’s market. There was also a pretend cow to milk and play horses to ride.
We ended the day with a yummy smoothie!! It was so much fun and we can’t wait to go back!








That looks outstanding. And how funny is SP refusing the sand pit? I don’t know if you read Dooce, but her daughter wouldn’t walk on sand for years.
We have a museum like this here, but I’ve never been. Now I’m thinking we might have to go.
What an excellent way to spend Christmas money – he will have so much fun all year!
That looks like so much fun! We have something similar in St. Louis and Evie has such a good time! I bet you will be spending lots of time there this winter!
I CANNOT WAIT TO GO!! your blog entry has me so excited i can’t stand it!! woo hoo!
He had a total blast didn’t he? It is written all over his face.
