We haven’t been to BYU’s Van Gogh to Playdough in a while because it always seemed to snow on our chosen dates. Now that we are closer and snow season seems to be coming to an end, we are coming back.We LOVE this program. (I just wish we could sign up more often!) Lucy learns so much from the museum explorations. And it’s just her pace. This week we learned about transportation and the railroad through Utah. We “travelled” down the halls like planes, trains, and automobiles.We learned about how the railroad came through the west……and even got to create our own felt board trains.We learned what it was like to travel from New York to Utah, and how many different people you’d encounter along the way.We learned how many cultures say “Hello,” from bowing, to giving a lei, to sticking out your tongue.Once the museum exploration was over, we went to the craft room to create our own art projects.Lucy made a foam shape train mosaic and a train conductor’s hat. She had to have every part of the hat colored in differently, so we took a VERY long time to finish.Everyone else was gone by the time we did. Brie was off work before we left, so she joined us for the last little bit.The experience was great though. Lucy was very engaged the whole time, so i knew she was enjoying what she was doing.Afterwards, we visited the Windswept exhibit. Can you believe these are all created by intricately weaving sticks one by one?!?I know why our preschool group didn’t visit this one! It took everything out of me to keep Lucy from trying to touch the exhibits.She was mesmerized by them. Thank goodness the floor kept reminding her too! Such a super cool exhibit!
