The Seattle Children's Museum!

Last week we took our Colorful Hands kiddos to the Seattle Children's Museum. They currently have a Clifford exhibit which was all I was really expecting, however their permenant exhibit is pretty unbelievable as well.
The Children's Museum is really beyond words. It is a child's paradise! Everything is hands on and meant for experiential learning. It is also child size. There is an exhibit filled with rooms dedicated to what homes look like all around the world, from kitchens demonstrating the type of food there is to bedroom and living rooms showing how different cultures live and spend time together. Another exhibit they have is a mini grocery store with plastic food and mini grocery carts so the kids can play pretend grocery shopping. There also have a fire truck and a theater and everything in between, all designed for the children to be able to touch and play with. There is even a whole room dedicated to art. This room had every type or art possible and was so kid friendly! The kids were able to play with clay, paint, draw, cut shapes and all that in between.

The kids really loved it! Even those children who are slow to become engaged and participate were active and enjoying themselves. We opened the field trip up to parents so that they could go with their children. We had nine children go total and six of these children were accompanied by their parents. It was such a fun outing!

Here are some more pictures. How cute are these kiddalinks!?

Mr. Fireman!

just grocery shopping, you know?

If you are in Seattle and have a reason to take any kids to the Children's museum--do it! It was such a wonderful experience!

10 days til Christmas!
