Children's Museum Visit

Kate and I have been visiting the Children's Museum once a month, and she has so much fun there.  I enjoy watching her explore and play.  Here are a few highlights from today's visit:

Kate played in the water room for the longest amount of time.  She enjoys pouring, filling, and dumping water.  She was very wet, and so was the floor in this room - they could use a mop in there!

This is kinetic sand.  It's very moldable.  Kate liked rolling it out and cutting it.

There were wadded up pieces of white paper to serve as snowballs to be thrown into the holes on this snowman.  Kate decided it was easier to just walk up to the snowman and put the snowballs in the holes.

I used to have stacking cubes like this for the other three kids, but we don't have any now, and Kate has never played with them before.  She had fun stacking them and knocking them down.

Here is a short video of her stacking the cubes and knocking them down:

I thought this penguin was really cute.  It's just a shoebox decorated to look like a penguin.  They had construction paper fish to put in the penguin's mouth.  Kate worked VERY hard at trying to pick up the fish with the tongs and feed the penguin.  After a few tries, she picked the fish up with her fingers and fed him that way instead.

She thought Elmo was hungry too, and filled his mouth with fish.

Kate was very excited to see a table set up with supplies for making bird feeders.  She recognized the idea as the one we did at home recently (except we used peanut butter).  She was happy to make one to bring home.

It's hanging outside, waiting for visitors!

I love that every visit to the museum is a different experience.
