Museum of Me

Showcase your Originality

Why Play This Way?

This play invites children to identify and curate personal artifacts that showcase their specialness. As museum guides, they’ll share the “why” behind each chosen item, thereby tapping into their innate skills as storytellers. Enhance the social emotional benefits of this activity by inviting others to create their own personal museums. This will help your little one better understand & appreciate how everyone has different, but equally important stories to tell.
