Discovery Day 2007


A few weeks ago, Brooklyn and I spent a few hours on a Saturday going to a VERY fun event at the local college ( Moorpark College ). It happens to be conveniently located across the street from our house. It is a fundraiser for the schools Child Development Center ( where Brooklyn goes to preschool 2 days a week ). It is a day full of hands on displays for exploring , outdoor playtime and food. It is our first time going and it definately will NOT be our last ! It was fabulous ! Brooklyn and I enjoyed all of the wonderful ideas of household substances that you can make ( in place of the traditional playdough ). They had so many homemade simple ideas for indoor fun and discovery . There were also wooden mobile type toys that they could maneuver and explore. Brooklyn enjoyed dying jello, making styrofoam boats to float, bathing baby dolls and squishing oozing goo ( made with elmers glue and some other substances ) out of plastic strainers. But by far her favorite activity had to be the face painting ! She spent atleast a half an hour drawing on her face and even creating some art on her friend Carly's face as well. We will definately go again next year ! I'm not quite sure who is looking forward to it more , me or her ?!
