Welcome to week three of Adventure! Museum @ Home! We've gathered up some great stuff to help keep your family engaged, entertained, and having fun! The Adventure! Museum @ Home posts will each have a different combination of fun projects, visits with friends, new things to see, and ideas to inspire. Our mission remains, as always, to create an environment dedicated to the spirit of adventure, and to help kids grow into artists, explorers, and innovators. See you soon, Adventurers!
