Earlier this week, we had a day full of adventure at the Seattle Children’s Museum, which is situated in the lower level of the Armory at the Seattle Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum allowed her to try on differents hats for different careers, such as Fire Fighter, or Bus Driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The global village showed a little bit about how some people live in a few different parts of the world such as Japan, the Philippines, and Ghana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COG City was all about machines and mechanics and how things work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"machine\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

With supplies and opportunity to build a few things on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The optometry office was a big hit for our bespectacled girl. She loved having the opportunity to wear the optometrists jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"optometry<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

She loved getting a closer look at the equipment where she could explore and study it in a way that was not possible when she got her eyes checked at the real optometrists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Daddy was a patient patient, and even tried on her glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a model market where they could practice shopping for food and making healthy choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"farm<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The scale was a big hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"weighing<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

And while we know that all the world is a stage, especially for a 6-year-old, nothing compares to some uninterrupted time on a real stage with mom and dad (and others) in the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"stage<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

And then there was a magical fantasy room, full of books, and fairies, and a happy little girl who really didn’t want to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"fairy\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Seattle Children’s Museum<\/a> is designed for kids up to ten, but I think where it really shines is for the preschoolers. It’s a lovely place to spend the day with\u00a0the little ones, especially the toddlers and up to 5 or 6, but I think many kids would outgrow it before they reach ten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
