One of my very favorite childhood memories was a visit to
the Exploratorium in San Francisco, when I was in 3rd grade. Wow, what a field trip!! Although we all made
our little girl squeals and screeches during the dissection of the cow’s eye,
we were mesmerized and could not keep our eyes off the demonstration. I was awed by the many activities
demonstrating optical illusions and just couldn’t get enough of the shadow box that
left behind the silhouette of me dancing minutes after I had left the
room. Who knew learning could be so much
fun!
The fun continues today at the Exploratorium and if you
are going to be anywhere near San Francisco with kids (or adults) I would
highly recommend you check it out… and plan to spend the whole day! You don’t have to wait for your next road
trip to start exploring though. Check

Have fun tinkering, creating, and exploring!
