Would that interest him?

When we go to a museum, we start by studying the museum map. We let each kid and adult choose the 1 rooms/exhibit that they most want to see. We visit those exhibits. And then go to the cafe for a snack. That way there's not a rush to see everything.<br />RindaRinda1961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11568193.post-47039071518880444622011-04-20T18:14:38.510-04:002011-04-20T18:14:38.510-04:00As I read through this I was thinking of a little ...As I read through this I was thinking of a little questionnaire with things like "What is the most interesting thing about this animal/creature?" but Helena's ideas totally rock.

All of the museums we have taken the boys too have had one or the other usually both, I know we are in the UK but it's always worth asking sometimes they don't have them on display but they might offer something.
