Today I hit the classroom again for some good 'ole arts and crafts. After spending several hours last week sifting through activity books for some ideas, Stacy and I found a few that we liked and put them into action. I'm pretty sure that working in the education department is one of the best jobs at the museum because we got to spend the morning coloring - what other job lets you get paid to do that? So the activity we planned for the children today was to make Nevada pop-up picture books. We try to tie everything that we do in the classroom with Nevada somehow. So we came up with three scenes that we could put in our book: Lake Tahoe, Boundary Point (the tallest peak in NV) and Lehman Caves. We devised each picture with a picture that would 'pop up' when the book was opened. Stacy's drawings for sure looked better than mine, as I've said I lack that artistic gene. I think that some of the kids that came in today definitely drew better than I did! Can you tell which one is mine?
