This semester, we enrolled big J in an art class held at the local museum. He has enjoyed the experience as they learn about art, artists, museum artifacts and do other preschool type activities. The first day, I attempted walking around the museum exhibits with K & little J, but I don't think 1 & 2 year olds care too much about artifacts! Lucky for us, there is a kid's science museum right across the street so we walked over there the following week and came out with a family membership. Since then, I go 'play' with the young ones while J is in class and the situation is win win for all of us!
With his painting smock on, he is ready to begin class.
The little ones look inside the classroom with curiosity to see what it is all about.
The theme this particular week was Rock 'n Roll and J and his friend M's artwork were featured for the all the museum lookers to see.

Playtime at the kid's museum!
The kids are allowed to touch nearly everything! Kyle liked to smell everything of course.
Lots of hands on water experiments... I still could not get K to look at the camera, he was in day dream heaven at this place!
They have a tot room with all kinds of science toys for the littlest ones.
Ball tube drops...
cause and effect machines...
Light switches that they can actually play with over and over... K is definitely our scientist!
J is a watcher, he observes everything!
The air blower... They both enjoyed this and even had a brotherly team going!
The magical floating ball impressed them both!
Kyle would agree that airplanes are much more fun to watch than art sculptures!
After class this particular day, we came back to the kid's museum to meet some friends and eat a picnic lunch. J had a little mommy helper :)!
K loved the rolling slide
and J went digging for fossils with his friend J!
Little J played with his little friend, they were holding hands!
We couldn't leave without making a stop at the bubble table!
This is a great way to spend one day each week, there are many parts of the museum that we haven't even seen yet!
