As a joint birthday gift to both Yaeli and Sophie for their birthdays, Rivkah and I purchased membership to The Children's Museum of Pittsburgh. For a pretty good price we now have a year where we, my mother and Rivkah's father can take up to 3 children as many times as we like. Since the girls spend the days with Rivkah's father, this will be most useful for him.
When we went yesterday the kids had a blast. While Yaeli and I worked together in the arts and crafts room, Rivkah and Sophie went upstairs to play with toys appropriate for a 1 year old. Yaeli got to make a painting using marbles covered in paint. We put a paper down in a large bowl and put the marbles on top and spun the bowl around. The ensuing painting looked really neat. Then we moved on over to make a painting by cutting out shapes using newspaper and then painting over it and lifting the clippings. This left an outline of the shapes. Then we went and made some (not-so) scary masks.
We then went to join Rivkah and Sophie. We found them upstairs where Sophie was enjoying eating sand and playing with a light-wall. After Sophie proved that all she wanted to do there was eat the sand, I took her downstairs to play in the "garage" room. We all ended up there for the remainder of our stay.
I'm looking forward to using the heck out of this membership. I've always had fun there so it's nice to have an excuse to go. I hope the kids have fun too.
