Que interesante!

On Wednesday we decided that it was time for some Museum-Fun, so we picked the kids up from school and went to the Delaware Children's Museum with them.
The kids had been there already a few months ago, so they knew what to expect and behaved totally excited about this event- and as soon as we got there I could understand their excitement!
It started with a huuge maze at the entry- it was about ten 8 metres tall and the kids could crawln in there and try to find their way out.
As I am always looking for some paedagogical background ( ;) ), I was impressed by how the museum explained things to the kids- for instance about their body, about how a house is built or how the bank and the financial system works. The kids were able to read information but more important: were able to act things out and try themselves!!
They had fun building houses, pretending to keep a household from having too less money and finding out how long they could keep their balance (my record: 14 seconds! :P)
So it sure was a great (3 hour!) experience for the kids, and also I learned some new vocab and enjoyed myself there!
