The Coolest Place in Sac (for kids)

Monet-in-training working on one of his many masterpieces

Hand painting with Madeline

Exploring the AWESOME sand and water table in the courtyard

Dancing around (jumping and running = dancing for H)

Cooking up treats in the kitchen

We explored basically the best place ever today...Art Beast is a dream come true!  A huge remodeled Victorian on K Street with one floor dedicated to dramatic play (puppets, costumes, musical instruments, stage), one floor for art (paints, markers, collage materials, easels, moon sand, clay), a loft/play house (kitchen, baby cradles, reading area), one floor designed for movement (huge open dance studio, tumble mats, parachute, crawling tubes) and an amazing courtyard with all kinds of sensory activities.  Harrison and Madeline went nuts and we probably would have stayed a few more hours if the young man wasn't so tired he was about to fall asleep right there.  It is an awesome place, but made me slightly sad that I am not a stay-at-home mom who can take advantage of the fun on a more regular basis.  We can't wait to go back!
