A morning at the museum

This year we bought a Family Plus membership to the Arboretum and that includes special events a few times a year at other museums in town. We had a morning event at the art museum. The kids made several crafts sponsored by each of the participating museums.
First was the frog craft. The frog tongue was a party blower.

Then we made a Christmas tree with stickers and stamps. Caroline especially enjoyed making this one with Nana's help.



Then we made a crown from a paper plate.


After we finished the crafts we went through part of the museum. There is a new area for kids that included some exhibits that they can touch.

There was also a creative challenge where there was a container with a variety of items that they could use to make things.
We walked through some of the museum. The kids liked the painting of the lady napping. Caroline is pretending to be the napping lady.
I guess it has been awhile since we have been to an art museum because they were running around so excited and amazed at the paintings.
It was a fun morning. Thanks Nana and Pops for joining us.
