After we finished looking at the natural history exhibits at the Sternberg Museum in Hays, KS, we went to a little area where the kids could practice digging up dinosaur bones!
 |
| Hats on, tools in hand, they were ready for discovery. |
 |
| Catherine and Joseph found a long bone. |
 |
| Anthony, the world's youngest archaeologist. |
 |
| They could have stayed here for a long time. |
After digging up bones, we made our way to the Discovery Room, which is a homeschooler's dream! It was chock full of fun and interesting activities for kids to do, from puzzles and games to looking at things through magnifying glasses and balancing weights on a scale. There were lots of books, stations for drawing, stamping, and tracing, a wall of live animals in tanks, even a spot by the window for identifying cloud formations. You could easily spend half a day in this room.
 |
| Joseph found a friend. |
 |
| An attractive corner with books, puzzles, blocks, and tubs full of interesting animal puppets. |
 |
| Working on a puzzle. |
 |
| Right in the middle of the room, you could climb on this giant bone. |
 |
| Anthony liked this giant spider sculpture. |
 |
| Another great puzzle done by Anthony and Joseph. |
