Puppet Show!

This was a full sized pin-thing-where you can put your hand impression in it. It was big enough for Anne to put herself in it! You can totally tell its her too!
Playing with some wooden and very simple dolls and furniture in the giant doll house.
There was also a craft area where was made spring flowers. I really liked this craft area because unlike the zoo and the Naperville Children's Museum there was clear structure in what the craft was supposed to look like. I am not a person that can take a wine cork, some pipe cleaners and construction paper and make a bug without showing me exactly how to make it. While at this children's museum there was room for creativity there were also clear examples of the finished projects. There were lots of other exhibits we didn't get to do-legos, magnets, dinosaurs and "digging" for them, etc. But hopefully next time we'll get to do more!
The tot area-which was completely enclosed except for a doorway (which was the size of an actual doorway-not wider) so it was really easy to keep Buddy Boy contained. And the climbing equipment was low enough and with enough mats that even if he fell off, he would not get hurt.
Anne's face and hand painted-a frog on her face and a dinosaur on her hand-there was even instructions on how to do it!

What museum was that? I've been to the DuPage Children's Museum and the Kohl Children's Museum, but not the one you are talking about here! Is it the one in Oak Lawn?
It's in Frankfort, IL and called Kidsworks (maybe w/o the S?) Children's Museum. So it's pretty far south on 355.
Looks like a really neat place!
Thanks for the info! We will definitely have to try that out! I guess I've heard of it, but I imagined it was a lot further away!
