Dan and I spend Saturday with Jack at this cute little children's museum in San Jose. It actually had plenty of activities for crawlers, on up to probably 10-year-old's, so I'm sure we'll be going back over the years. Here are some highlights from the day.
There was a big crawlers-only play area for Jack with stairs and ramps to work on.
Dan and Jack checking each other out. There is glass in front of Jack, so he's not about to fall.
Dan's taking calls and Jack's wondering what's up.
Fun rippled ramp that was easier to crawl down head first than normal stairs, though he did wipe out a few times when he went too fast.
Eager little dude.
Pushing the buttons makes the birdies talk!
Lots of levers, handles and buttons to work on.
A mirror box. Jack smacked his head on the mirror trying to crawl through the box.

Dan kept playing with this ramp.
And Jack really wanted to help.

Up the back
The "Water Works" area. The 4 and under version was much more tame than the big kids area where balls were flying.
Grateful for the strong chlorine we could smell.
"Don't eat that" - that's all I say now-a-days.
Loves to get wet.
A break for a snack.
Watching him drink from a straw just melts me because he seems so grown up.

Gears! If gear 1 has 12 teeth and a diameter of 6 inches, and gear 2 has 24 teeth and a diameter of 12 inches, what is the gear ratio???
He's calculating...
"That's easy Mom, it's 1:2. Give me something harder, or I'll eat the gears some more." My little engineer.
Thank-you for sharing the photos and your loving editorial comments. What delightful moments to savor and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know the discovery museum had a crawling section! This looks like fun! We're going to have to check it out sometime...
