Pure Imagination

"Come with me,
And you’ll be
In a world of pure imagination.
Take a look
And you’ll see
Into your imagination."
- Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory






Today we visited the Dallas Museum of Nature and Science. With the lower level dedicated to The Childrens Museum (ages 0-7), any child can get lost in their own imagination. From the Little Urban Farm to Explore Your Town, stations provide props, dress up, and endless other items to aide in pretending. One can climb on a fire truck dressed in a firefighters coat and hat, crawl through an ant mound while sporting a bug costume, dance on a stage with surrounding distorting mirrors, or pedal a tractor around a corn field. Floor puzzles, a water room, musical instruments, simple science projects, and live critters will keep you busy too.





Each Wednesday from 10-11:30am (during the school year) a drop-in program is provided for preschoolers. With monthly themes, relevant to the season, you can hear a story, sing a song, create a craft and enjoy fun activities. Today's theme was Little Buckaroos. After our short song and story we headed across the hall to the craft room...




FINALLY a craft room that looks like a craft room. Paint stained tables, minature chairs, little people's art on the walls, markers with unmatched lids...all very welcoming to the kids. With the help from 2 Jesuit seniors earning their community service hours, we made horses with clothes-pin legs, stamped bandanas, bluebonnets, and cowboy hats. The boys had a blast!

Today's photos!
