Since we are learning from good books this year, we spent some time learning about how books are made, how libraries work, and what authors and illustrators do. So we spent Tuesday at the International Printing Museum. The kids had a great time and learned a ton! The kids got to fold and cut a book like it would've been done in Benjamin Franklin's time and make a print for a little notebook they made and do a large print for the bag they put all their goodies in. It was really neat and I only wished I could've gotten a little more out of it, but I spent a good part of the time keeping Hunter quiet and happy.
When Ladd got home on Tuesday night I was impressed with all the facts that Tanner could tell him. It is amazing what kids retain when they can become part of what they are learning.

Here, here, kids are sponges! I would have loved to be there too. That is a really amazing museum. I'm sorry that you were so distracted with your other one...I know how it is!
Way COOL!!! I bet the "main street" unit was SO fun to teach!
