Passing the torch at the Chicago Childrens Museum

This post is a part of the Carnival of Homeschooling this week. Please check out other fun ideas there!

The Chicago Childrens Museum was tons of fun.

Here the kids are playing jumbo-sized chess.

They invented a machine to ~~murder~~ wake up this teddy bear.

And they tested flying machines to see which ones would glide the longest.

They used this conveyor to test the gliders. Very fun!

Here’s the whole Chicago series:
Museum of Science and Industry
Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament
Children’s Museum
Our fancy schmancy room from Hotwire
Millenium Park
Streets and buildings

You can pass the torch every week, by sharing simple and stupendous times kids make us proud, as well as the ways we see adults passing the torch. Just blog a story or share it in comments. My comment plugin will leave your link automatically. Former PTT posts. Complete Guidelines.

These are the magical times that I want very much for my kids to never grow out of. I love the way you captured the chess game.

Hugs,

Oooo, we’ve never been to the Children’s museum. It looks like great fun. We usual go to the M of Science and Industry and the Natural History Museum. We are planning a trip to Chicago before the end of the month. We’ll have to give the Children’s museum a try

First of all, the colors in your photo are so vibrant! Love it! I also love that chess game. I just wish I knew how to play.
