Be with Me Summer Fun!!!

At the Playseum this summer we hope that kids will find out more about themselves through self-exploration, find good summer reading, use their imagination in our art studio, have one-of-a-kind moments with mom, dad, or grandparents, play dress up or be “big kid clerk” in our Safeway.

Come in this summer, any day of the week and experience a themed adventure that will take your child through the Playseum in a whole new way! As always it is only $5 per person. If you think you might spend a few days with us this summer you might want to think about buying a summer package for $100.00. This package includes a 10 day - all day pass- for one child and one adult and twenty Playseum dollars to be used any time throughout the summer (June 21-September 4th). If you want to include a sibling in the package it is an additional $65.00. This package will be sold from now until June 20th, 2010. As always our packages can be purchased over the phone with credit card. Please let us know how we can help make your child’s summer a special one!

What is a BUZZ AROUND GROUP?

We are collecting a list of moms & nannies throughout the greater metro area who would love to have you in their Buzz around group. You would meet at least once a month at the Playseum and from there develop friendships and connections to others in your community. It is free and we hope that through this service parents and kids can connect and new friendships will be born. Come in and look on our metro map and find a Buzz around group near you.


What is a BUZZ AROUND FIELD TRIP?

Buzz around Field Trips provide hands-on learning experiences that expand on concepts integrated into the Playseum adventure nooks. They are designed to meet the developmental needs of young children ages 2 to 11.

Buzz around field trips include:

A 10 minute orientation with age appropriate story time at 11 AM and the option to make a free bouncy ball or plant a seed in the science nook.

Our Playseum is designed like a miniature city beginning with a “Cakes by Leslie Bakery” where kids can also whip up a smoothie or decorate their own cupcake. We have a hardware store with a hands-in sand box and then a tunnel leading to a fire truck and science nook. Our “Safeway Grocery Store” is a great place for kids to encounter nutrition, the food groups, money and social skills with the introduction of adding, sorting, organizing and even finding fun stories with food as the main subject. Our “Bethesda Pet shop” is ideal for learning about animals and how to care for them; from rabbits to birds to frogs. Our “Art Studio” is a place where a child’s creativity and imagination can run free, whether they are painting on the wall or molding something out of clay or one of our recycled items. There are many more adventure rooms from Grandma’s attic that will take you back in time to our musical stage where they can play on drums and pick up a guitar.

Fees: $5 per person, with the option of adding additional Playseum dollars to do activities throughout our city. Call today and reserve your school or camps field trip.
If you plan to bring in more than 12 children at one time we do need a deposit of half the amount and we need to know that you will have at least 1 adult to every four children.
