Explore More at Home: Pet Party

Explore More is currently closed but that doesn’t mean we can’t help our museum friends discover, create, imagine and play! That’s why we’ve decided to stay connected and pass along fun ideas so you can EXPLORE MORE AT HOME! We’ll be sending out messages on social media each day and then posting everything here so you can check it out whenever you’d like.

We’d love to see how you are exploring at home! Just snap a pic and post it on our FB or Instagram accounts and tag #ExploreMoreAtHome. Be on the lookout for ongoing suggestions for D-I-Y creative play and plenty of parenting support, too.

Pets on Parade

Mr. Landon has two very large dogs named Hank and Bear. They are very fluffy and white. He takes good care of them and spends lots of time playing with them. We’d love to see some pictures of you with your pets--either real or pretend!
