While visiting family in San Francisco during the holidays we made a visit to the Children's Creativity Museum. The museum was pretty awesome and it made me wish I was a kid again. Because of the holidays the classes were postponed and the museum had free play all day. That was a bummer, because I really wanted my daughter to try out the early childhood class. Fortunately they did have a short music class that my Lulu enjoyed. That is her in the middle of the class with a music instrument and the fuchsia fur vest. After the music class little Lulu loved going up and down the bright green slide they had near the entrance. There was a video camera that would film the kids going down the slide and a TV that would play their video. I was so excited to see Lulu go up the stairs to the slide all on her own. It was even more exciting to see her go down the slide on her tummy for the first time. Thank God! Grandma had her iphone to film this milestone.
The museum had different areas that were set up with art projects and toys. There was a puppet area and a dress up area. We checked out the 2nd floor that had all kinds of music, movie and art studios for older kids. If I lived in the bay area I would definitely become a member and have my kid play there.
I hope Lulu will get to try out the early childhood class on our next visit. Its so much easier to let toddlers play together. They are on the same level (whats yours is mine level). Letting Lulu explore the museum during free play time with kids of all ages did get a little hectic. I think I had to tell two or three kids sorry, when Lu stole their clay. Ha!
