Afternoon at the Museum

The San Jose Discovery Museum was a popular choice for us during the early years, but not a place we visit much during elementary school. This is our last week of summer, and the open agenda left us with some impromptu decisions about what to do. An afternoon at the museum was a perfect call because their art studios scale age ranges so well. Besides making mega bubbles, and adding a couple of corn husk dolls to their collection, they also used a hammer and awl to punch designs into aluminum lanterns. I wish there we MORE children's museums!
