April SVW


First off, I apologize that my blogging has been sort of minimal.  I am in the process of packing and moving to the South Shore, needless to say I have been quite the busy bee.

This is a little late but it is April School Vacation Week for most youngsters in the New England region along with Earth Week!  

If you are an average museum-goer and enjoy contemplative quiet time, with small galleries but plenty of space this is NOT the week for you to visit a museum.  This week is a big one for attendance numbers in all museums and most family friendly area organizations.  Now that being said if you are a family looking for activities to keep your kids busy, well check out your local museums and libraries!

Parents a couple tips.  Trips can add up quickly, plan ahead to minimize costs!  Pack a lunch with a few snacks and maybe an art activity.  This way you can explore some galleries, take a break and weather permitting you can eat a picnic outside and then even do a little art making to talk about the things that you saw that day.  Even if you aren't visiting an art museum, you can still plan fun activities for the little ones to learn that can enhance everything that they experience throughout the morning.   

A website that I found to be very easy-to-use and fun is www.enchantedlearning.com it is very simple and you can take their ideas and bring it to an entirely different level.
