Play Museum at home

Have you ever played Museum with your children?  This morning we were trying a new game with their building blocks, and everytime they make a creation I always tell them it is a masterpiece. They love playing with blocks, so today we try a new game, creating our own Art Museum.

I told them to start building their master pieces and put a name to each one, we put the pieces in a table, and with cards I wrote the names they gave me. 

My 4 yr old son heard about Japanese art in a TV show,
so he named this piece like that.

They were thrilled that the first piece had a card with the name, so they kept doing more. We speak Spanish at home, so that is why you see sentences both in English and Spanish.

My 3 yr old loves Toot & Puddle, so he recalls the Eiffel Tower from one of the shows. 

They felt very proud about each creation, and continued doing more.  At the end, they let the pieces all together and are taking care of them as it is in a real Museum.

It was very interesting to see how they can appreciate Art in a game like this, and how they learned that every masterpiece in a Museum has a card with a name so people can learn about it. 

My oldest son titled this last piece, ARTE FIN, because he already was tired and wanted to do something different. But he warned me to take care of the Museum until their dad comes home!  So I am watching it since then.

Here is the last picture of the whole exhibit, hope you enjoyed it!  Have you ever played this at home?
