play time...

I spent my morning today volunteering at the Children's Discovery Museum. I seriously love that place. Today I was assigned to the 3rd floor (Arts Incorporated), which has a mix of art, music, math, and theater. It was pretty slow at first, but then a few field trips came through and they were lively! The kids were hilarious putting on shows in the Imagination Theatre (a complete stage with costumes & props, lighting, curtains and backdrops). Most of my time was spent cleaning up after the kids enjoyed the Museum Paint Wall (a room of windows you can paint on!). I noticed many of the kids seemed to enjoy playing with the spray bottles & squeegees just as much as the paints!...squeegees are just fun (there's that OCD again)! The photos above are of the Fresh Market, the Luckey Climber (which hangs from the ceiling of the third floor) and the Toddler Backyard exhibit. There are photos of the exhibits I worked in today on the website, but I didn't want to post photos of random children on my blog :)
