Missed Messy Monday this week with the museum closure? Here's some inspiration from our Art Room for your creative explorer: bit.ly/2TZG1Ve #homeschool #art #ece

#VroomTip: Place a round object in a spoon. Have your child walk across the room holding the spoon. Talk about what's happening. This helps your child learn the scientific concept of balance when playing this game. Learn more on why #playmatters: npr.org/2019/10/10/769…

With the closure of the Bainbridge Island School District, and in an effort to help mitigate the effects of #COVID-19 in our #community – as a proactive measure KiDiMu will be CLOSED to the public March 12 - March 31. Stay tuned for engaging online content while we're closed!

Just a reminder that tomorrow's #Minimu program for our youngest explorers is postponed and will be rescheduled to a new future date. The Museum is open for exhibit play during regular hours.

Here is a fun way to help youngest explorers practice #healthy habits: bit.ly/2VN93Ja Let your child be your partner with this #VroomTip: Say, “It’s time to wash your hands, yours and mine.” Put soap on your hands and lather up. Be silly as you dry your hands off 🙃

Have you heard? It's time to plan for #summer fun! 🌞 This year's #camp lineup has been announced and #registration opens to Members on March 14, and to the general public - on March 18. LEARN MORE: bit.ly/2wztdf2

Can't get much more hands-on than this! 🙌 Thanks to curious explorers who dared to experiment with Oobleck, stretched their imagination, practiced teamwork & made friends at midwinter workshops. See you for spring & summer fun soon! #openingyoungminds #STEM #ece #powerofplay

#VroomTip: Take turns with your child making sound patterns. Repeat your sounds, then ask them to come up with a new pattern, and you repeat it. This helps your child use focus and self-control skills. @MotherlyMedia shares more social skill tips. mother.ly/child/help-you…
