Creative Ideas to Inspire

Research has shown that participating in art, music, movement and storytelling helps to develop language, mathematics, science and social skills as well as strengthen the synapses between brain cells. At birth, a child has the brain potential to learn any language, learn and appreciate music and movement, and to create visual art. In order to reach full potential, these skills must be encouraged and developed before the age of eight.

CMoR’s Newest Addition will be SO-lar Fun!

Outside the temperature may be getting cooler, but inside the Children’s Museum, things are heating up! Excitement is rising as we wait for the opening of our newest exhibit – Sun Tubes.

Sun Tubes, provided by Dominion, is a solar energy exhibit that’s designed to show kids through play how the suns energy can be used for power.  Insert colored scarves and watch as they soar through a clear-tube maze that’s powered by solar panels on the museum roof. While you’re there make sure to check out the video to learn more about solar energy.
