Arizona Museum for Youth

While Lisa was here we took the girls to the Arizona Museum for Youth here in Mesa. It was awesome! It's an actual art museum and all throughout the exhibits they have tables with activities for the kids to do, all relating to the exhibit.

The first area was Arizona art and they had these really cool water color crayons and little stencils to use. Eva drooled on hers and turned blue.

One of the exhibits was about table manners and they had a full kitchen for them to play in. Mallina pouring us some hot chocolate.

Eva found some asparagus and a glass that she wouldn't let go of.


They also had a Japanese table with chop sticks and plastic sushi. They had "training " chopsticks and Mallina actually picked up some sushi!

Eva thought her hands worked much better than the chopsticks.


After we went through the exhibits we went to Artville, an area for little kids to play and run around in. Mallina found a light box with transparent legos and shapes.

Eva liked these plastic cupcakes. She kept putting things in her mouth - GROSS!

We had such a good time. Being an art lover myself I think this is my favorite place to take the girls. I may just buy a membership!
