3rd Friday April 2013
The Earth Day Jubilee 3rd Friday event (4/19)
was the first 3rd Friday in Mah that we added a “Kid Happy Hour” to the schedule. Kids got to the museum earlier than usual at 3:30 and we stretched out the
kids’ activities until 8:00 pm, through the actual event. All of our kid happy
hour activities were happening in the Auditorium. We had a Cardboard Forest,
Animal mask craft, coat hanger wings, Mud Pie and other very fun activities.
We had a
large number of very small kids and some of the activities were too complicate
for them, but the cardboard forest was a win for every one. All of the kids
regardless of their age were so excited to play in it!!!
Here is a photo
of leaf critters made by one of our young visitors. I specially love the bearded
forest monster.
I prepped for the Egg Carton Bugs activity for the kid happy hour. Here are some of the photos of the preparation and the event.
Since the kid
happy hour experiment has only just begun, we have a lot to learn about our
participants and their interests. For one thing, we noticed that we have a lot
of younger children with the age 3-5 in the room that some of the activities
like the Egg Carton Bugs, might not be suitable for. So either the parents or
us had to jump in and help the younger ones with the hot glue or fixing the
pipe cleaner legs on the bugs. For other thing, I noticed that most likely, the kids
like the crafts that they can wear better rather than the other ones. So, we’ll see
how the kid happy hour will turn out and I’ll keep on the updates on that. For now, here is one of our young participants, working on her pink spider.
