My kids are always ready to go to any art event, so last weekend I took them to MOCHA(Museum of Children's Art). The theme was Dr. Seussology to celebrate Dr Seuss's birthday, and all the art was to be focused around it. There were 5 tables setup for the activities : making hats, clay modeling, painting, building figures from egg cartons and decorating them and making fish from cut-outs. The kids tried their hand at each of the tables.
There was a story reading program and the award -winning author Elissa Haden Guest read her book "Harriet's had enough!". The little one loved this session. Then the kids make drawings based on the story.
The museum also had display of top 150 selected drawings from the Cray-Pas Wonderful, colorful world 2011 contest. It is a national contest for K-8th grade. It was unbelievable that kids as small as Kindergarten and 1st grade could draw immensely detailed and colorful pictures.
It was a good place to spend couple of hours and we returned back with whole lot of art work.
