NEWS RELEASE
LONGMONT MUSEUM
*************************

We are excited for Discovery Days to continue to serve as a place of growth, kindness, and happiness! The new Discovery Days classroom is down the same hall as the old room, just closer to the front of the hall (and closer to the restrooms!). You will see a sign directing you.

All your favorite stations will be there: the sensory table, play-space with toys like trains, the standing easel, bigger craft stations, cubbies to put your crafts, a wardrobe to put your things, and of course our friendly bear to "feed" as you walk in.

What Can You Expect at Discovery Days?
Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays
9–10:15 am, 10:30–11:45 am, 12:30–1:45 pm
​​​​​
Each week, Ms. Leigh prepares a variety of themed arts and crafts activities for you and your child to explore materials and creation techniques.

This week of March 9, 10, & 11 we will:

  • Increase hand eye coordination by stamping and using various painting tools
  • Practice pencil grip by drawing lines with markers and painting
  • Work on handskills by manipulating chenille stems into twists and wiggles
  • Enhance cutting skills by cutting shapes on paper plates

Sensory experiences you may encounter:

  • Sticky glue on fingers
  • Sticky tape on fingers
  • Wet paint on hands
  • Soft chenille stems
  • Wearing an apron to keep clean while painting
  • Wearing a face covering/mask in the classroom
  • And as always, you can expect variety of noises and voices in the classroom: some joyful, some loud, some quiet, and some just learning how to navigate this world.

See you at the Museum!
