“…for children play is serious learning.
Play is really the work of childhood.”– Fred Rogers
At Discovery Museum, we focus on helping kids develop the skills to learn about their world: exploration and experimentation; persistence and resilience; understanding their own and others’ emotions. Real stuff and simple materials are our preferred tools for learning.
Our philosophy is that kids learn through play. We offer play in both a STEM-rich environment and a natural and inviting outdoor space. If you offer kids open-ended explorations, they will follow their natural instincts to observe, predict, and experiment—in other words, to be scientists.
When you’re a kid, spring and summer are about long, lazy days spent playing, exploring, and having fun. We talked with Marie Foley, owner of The Concord Toy Box, to discover this year’s most popular summer toys and games.
What would you do if you were walking along and came across a nest in the ground full of baby bunnies? Or perhaps a little bird hiding in the grass or a baby squirrel lying on the ground?
