Sculpture – Egypt Ushabti


Looks like Max made it to the museum as well! Who doesn’t like learning about Ancient Egypt?! These sculptures by the Ancient Egyptians are called Ushabti. They were buried (sometimes hundreds of them – and sometimes they were small and sometimes they were big) with the dead and expected to servants to them in whatever came next. The hieroglyphics on their legs was their contract saying they were willing to work! Click on the image below, or click here, to open the […]

Museum – sculpture, Oval with Points


I’m not sure how Sophie and Sadie got to the sculpture without walking on the grass – I also don’t know how they managed to climb it! Oval with Points, which this sculpture looks like, was done by the artist Henry Moore. It’s pretty big as you can see – and made of bronze. He wanted his art to be outside for people to enjoy (although probably not climb on!) instead of in museums. Can you see where the points […]

Museum – sculpture, The Dancer


I bet Sophie is pretty surprised to find a statue in the museum looks just like her! Sculptures can be made out of all different kinds of materials – wood, metal, ceramic, ice, fabric. They can be any size from tiny to huge. This statue looks like a famous statue by Edgar Degas called Little Dancer. He originally made the statue out of wax – and later 28 copies were made out of bronze. Click on the image below, or […]

Tickets at the museum


There are so many kinds of tickets! Tickets to get on the bus, raffle tickets, movie tickets, traffic tickets, lottery tickets, parking tickets, theater tickets, and tickets to get into a museum, just to name a few! Sometimes you have to pay for the tickets and sometimes you don’t. These have a tear off part at the top so the museum can keep a part to know how many people saw the exhibit and Sophie and Sadie can keep the […]

Turnstiles at the museum


Sophie and Sadie are visiting a museum. All museums want to know how many people visit – some have people with number clickers at the entrance and others use turnstiles like these. You’ll find all different types of turnstiles in all different places – but they were originally invented for farmers who needed a way that they could leave the pasture and their animals couldn’t follow them (and couldn’t go off on adventures of their own!).

Hockey


Did you know that before ice hockey pucks were invented, frozen cow poop was used as a puck!  Wow, the things we learn.  There are lots of different ways to play hockey – on ice, on roller skates, on the street, under water, with a ball, with a puck… Sophie and Max are playing street hockey – looks like fun!

Building a hut


I actually think that they are building a fort – but they told me it’s a hut, so that’s what we’re calling it. It is pretty amazing how we can make places to stay safe and warm and dry out of just about anything. Max just moved into the neighborhood – they all seem to be cooperating and are certainly doing a good job building the hut!

Apple cider


Sophie is working hard making apple cider. It takes 36 apples squeezed through the apple press to make one gallon of apple cider. Sadie must be tired from picking apples! Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!

bathtub


I have learned a lot about bathtubs this week! People have been taking baths for thousands of years – except for a period of about 300 years in Europe when no one took a bath or shower or washed up at all it seems.  In Japan it was traditional for the whole family to take a bath together and many cities throughout the world had public bath houses where people stopped in to take baths.
