For my nephew's birthday today I surprised him but learning how to play Minecraft so we can play together online (as well as buying him some vouchers for switch games). I have reached peak aunty because I also remember when we used to buy him wooden buses and shakers.

Fancy trying a 150-year-old craft activity? The Victorians loved decorating 'penny plains' - souvenir images of famous actors or heroes. Try it yourself using felt tips & colouring pencils or embellishments like sequins & glitter! bit.ly/2Zsqn81 #MuseumofFundon

What (if anything) is your organisation doing to update safeguarding practice and/or policy as we switch to digital? And is your organisation collecting content created/shared through digital streams?
English
Have you been busy making new content to connect with your audiences online? @moataylorhodin is interested in finding out how safeguarding practices have been adapted for digital learning in different organisations.

It’s been a pleasure to team up with @engagevisualart to talk about #EarlyYears in #Museums #Galleries and #Heritage sites.
We will be publishing a Twitter Moment to recap soon! #MuseumHour
MuseumHour@museumhour
Thank you for participating in our Early Years #MuseumHour with @gem_heritage and @engagevisualart 👏 A Twitter Moment will be created and shared soon to continue this great learning and sharing. To read GEM's Case Studies on Early Years: bit.ly/3bFGemv

@FitzMuseumEduca @museumhour @MumwithaviewUK @gem_heritage @engagevisualart Of course! We actually had some filming done at the last session before closure so hopefully I can share that with you soon :)
English
@EYMuseumNetwork @museumhour @MumwithaviewUK @gem_heritage @engagevisualart Will have to be in touch with you about this!
English
Q9. Work with early years audiences is intergenerational, involving both children and adults. How can we extend this by finding ways for people of different ages to collaborate?
Toddlers & teenagers? Babies & elders? Share your ideas!

@MumwithaviewUK @museumhour @gem_heritage @engagevisualart We were running sessions with elders from a care home and 2-3 year olds - it's called Memories and Music :)
English
@museumhour @gem_heritage @engagevisualart I used to take my son to a play group in elderly care home, it was magical. It's something we'd love to do in the museum #museumhour

English
@EYMuseumNetwork @FitzMuseumEduca @museumhour @WhitworthArt That's such a good added benefit to these groups and sessions. Watching parent friendships form should be a KPI! #museumhour
English
How can we make sure that parents and carers feel welcome in early years sessions? Especially if the museum or gallery is a strange place for them? #MuseumHour

@museumhour If parents aren’t frequent museum visitors or culturally engaged they might worry about how to find quality, enjoyable activities for their children or lack confidence to visit.
English
@FitzMuseumEduca @MumwithaviewUK @museumhour @WhitworthArt Totally agree with this. We found our baby group parents/carers, who met at the sessions, all started going for lunch together
English
@MumwithaviewUK @museumhour @WhitworthArt That’s true. We don’t have this set up formally, but often find that more confident families will support and guide new or less confident adults.
