This morning, I had the opportunity to take the kids to the art lab at Washburn University. We went with some other moms and kids in the Capital City Moms group I joined last month, and it was a lot of fun! We even got a little walk in because there was NO parking anywhere near the building and we had to park two blocks away. But it was really nice outside and Ava enjoyed crunching through the leaves.

In the art lab, they had a bunch of stations with a different activity at each one. They had:

1. A texture station where the kids put tiles with different textures under a piece of paper and colored over it to see the pattern.

2. A “rock wall” that was actually made of cardboard where the kids could color on the wall with sidewalk chalk.

3. A clear plastic divider in the middle of the room so the kids could color right on the plastic.

4. A self-portrait stations with different mirrors that distorted the kids’ faces.

And then they had various stations with toys like blocks, duplos, and more.

The kids had an absolute blast and it was even free! We’ll definitely be going back, and maybe next time we can bring Chad with us!
