Museums with Kids
Nosotros alive about an 60 minutes from New York City, which is very lucky. I train ride and we are in the Big Apple! We try to take advantage of this perk whenever possible, although I've institute that it was actually easier when they were little and didn't have homework and activities. 1 of my favorite trips is to the MoMA. I only love this identify! If you've never had the chance to visit the Museum of Modern Art, I would suggest planning a trip to NYC, pronto.
My kids didn't used to jump upwardly and down for joy when I mentioned going to a museum, but at present they do because I have a museum play tricks! Well, it's not actually my play tricks, it's one that was told to me by a wise friend. Y'all probably already know this trick, but it'south and then good that I but had to share.
Hither is what you do:
When you lot become to the museum, go directly to the gift shop. Allow your kids chose a handful of postcards that excite them. Y'all can use this time to talk most when the piece was made, the artist's style and colour choice, and annihilation else that stands out. So it's time to keep a search! My kids love this part…finding the existent art that matches the postcard. I love it, likewise!
These pictures are from a few years ago but I retrieve this day similar information technology was yesterday. After nosotros did our museum search, we went out for lunch at Rockefeller Plaza. They had their backpacks full of little surprises, and nosotros had the twenty-four hours to ourselves…merely the girls. When we got home, hot and tired, they taped their postcards to their doors. A little fox they like to practise to let anybody who enters know what they have been upward to. Nosotros nonetheless have the postcards, I used them this summer to decorate my studio. Have I mentioned how much I love postcards?
Right now at the MoMA (through xi/5/12) there is a wonderful exhibit chosen Century of the Child, a survey of 20th century design for children. With over 500 items to look at, this curated evidence examines the intersection of Modernist pattern and modern thinking about children. I can't wait to have all three of them!
Here are some more exciting ways to utilise museum postcards.
Accept fun!
