30 Day Project ~Day 11 “Jasmine Moran”

We finally visited the Jasmine Moran Children’s Museum in Seminole, Ok again!

It had been over two years since we went last and since they are on the Oklahoma Museum Network I wanted to go before our membership expired!

Yes my boys dressed up in superhero costumes to go to the museum.

My youngest only wore the Robin suit bottoms…

The mirrors cracked them up.funnymirror town

This part of the museum is laid out like a little town.courtroom judgej

The only wanted to be the judge so they could pretend to smash their fingers with the gavel. pounding car spiderman

The last time we came my oldest would not go in this climbing area.

He almost did not this time but I urged him to go down the slide and just like that he was okay with it.platform climb waterworks

I really like their waterworks area.

We got to try out their Locks and see how they work!waterworksinside room shopping

We did not get to do the maze last time because of the heat so I was determined to go through it this time!maze street mazeinside

It was a little harder than I thought it would be so I was really relieved that we made it though.me

This place is huge!

I feel like it is never ending.

The boys love it of course and I am exhausted by the time we leave.

Typical Children’s Museum.

If you live in the area you really should check it out!

It is worth it!

Philbrook Museum of Art ~Tulsa, OK

The boys and I visited the Philbrook on the museums free day(Second Saturday of every month).

They have a fun kids program going on that day!

The kids get art supplies and they have a scavenger hunt in their outdoor area!

This is the scavenger hunt and the art box they received for free!

We did the rubbing’s one.

You find an object on the list, like this one and find the stone nearby.

Then you make a rubbing of it.

It was a great way to tour the gardens!

If you are going to do the scavenger hunt I would recommend getting their right when they open and going to the middle of the museum where the table is located for it.

We did the gardens first then went inside to look at the art.

I have to admit to being a little disappointed when I got inside.

I felt the fun ended for the kids when you stepped inside the doors.

I was not going to drag my kids from room to room like I saw others doing.

I wanted them to see art!

And “gasp” enjoy it…

We went back into the main entrance and I started looking to see if they had any info cards for their art.

When I came up empty I went into the gift shop and bought post cards of the art.

I really think art museums should have scavenger hunts for the kids on the inside!

We used the postcards for our scavenger hunt and the boys really enjoyed it.

Another good idea is playing ispy!

I often told the boys ispy a horse or something else when we stepped into a new room and made them find it.

They have to look at all the art to find what you saw!

I made my own scavenger hunt for the next time we go.

Here is the list I came up with for a scavenger hunt at this museum:

1. A Shepherdess

2. A cowboy

3. A horse

4. The Grand Canyon

5. A stormy Sea

6. A basket

7. Jesus

8. A weapon

9. A statue

10. Pottery

11. A dog

Make sure to stop at the gift shop and get something small for them if they finish the list as a prize!

Some Museums have some of the works up online.

Look before you go at what they are displaying and make your own list!

I bet you will not have to drag your kids around from room to room.

Make learning fun!

Science Museum Oklahoma ~OKC

The Science Museum of Oklahoma is another museum that is on the Oklahoma Museum Network.

I actually bought the family membership here and then paid the extra to get the OMN membership added.

It is a great museum!

There are a lot of fun educational activities for the kids and definitely worth the price!

Have you ever been?

What is your favorite thing at science museums?

The avalanche you can see and play with was at the top of my list this time.

The teacher in my would love to have these kinds of hands on learning stations for every lesson we learn!
