The Children's Museum of the Arts has been on my list of places to check out for quite some time, and we finally decided to take advantage of a family pass I was given this weekend.
The museum has odd hours for a children's venue in that it doesn't open until noon during the week, so I haven't been able to take the kids on a weekday adventure and our weekends have seemed quite full lately with travel and swim lessons and everything else that seems to get pushed into Saturday and Sunday. We made it to the museum after swimming on Saturday, and arrived around 1130am, which is a late start for us. Thankfully it wasn't crowded, my biggest fear with arriving later on the weekends in the city especially since the weather is cold and people are looking for indoor entertainment.
The museum is a space for kids to engage with different media and create. There were several projects and supplies set up with staff available to help and guide. Freddie spent some time at the "clay bar" and made a little bowl with macaroni in it. The boys also spent some time making mosaic collages with paper and "sculptures" with clay and buttons. And they got to paint, Freddie's most requested art activity.
A little loft area filled with balls provided a physical outlet while we waited for paint to dry.
But Freddie's favorite part of the museum….
Washing his hands.
When we move to a house can we have a sink like this, Mama?
P.S. I promise to get out my real camera and get back to taking pictures soon.
