idea museum

A lot of the museums in town do free days the first of the month for people to be able to come and visit with their families.  It is so nice and we have taken our family to almost all of the museums to spend an afternoon together.  We decided to check out the idea museum in Mesa since we had never been there.  They had a really fun insect exhibit going on with all sorts of activities having to do with bugs.  They had an area about bees where the kids dressed up as bees and then on the ground they had to follow dotted lines that mimicked the flight pattern of a bee.  The costumes were hilarious and then watching them running around in them was hysterical.  

They had a puppet theater area, an awesome black light room set up with tents, fishing poles and other camping fun.

Lost of arts and crafts stations for the kids to create different projects.  This particular one they designed their own glasses.

A theater with a stage where they could dress up in costume and put on different plays for the audience...

Artville a play area for the smaller kids to play farm, house, blocks and be able to play and climb.

Out front they had some really cool musical instruments for the kids to play. Love these days together as a fam.
