When asked to participate in a focus group at the Children’s Museum last year, I knew a new exhibit was being developed about love, kindness and individuality. I was totally excited to see what it would be in the end! I did not expect to be blown away by its life lessons, interactive exhibits, and its ability to keep 4 toddlers’ totally busy and happy for 3 hours!!!

Here were our favorites within the XOXO Love and Forgiveness Exhibit-

Draw a silhouette. See how others see you. The lesson- Giving others our attention makes them feel loved!

Great Photo Op moms!! Various colored frames and wooden signs saying "I Love You" and "Thank You" against an XOXO printed wall make a fabulous greeting card or a thank you for grandma!

The boys came home with 8-10 love tokens each!

Draw a picture or write a love letter. Crush the paper in a machine and press it into a token with another pump machine!

We stumbled upon a story time within the exhibit at 2pm! Songs and books about love and friendships!

How do we show our feelings? Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood for sure! Children are asked to write how someone has been kind to them and what they do when they are mad and hang it on the display. We enjoyed reading what others had written!

Need something to do with the kids this weekend? Head over to the Children’s Museum!
Mr. Rogers’ Day is March 20th and the museum is offering free admission!

We loved the new exhibit! You will, too!

Create a memory of love!
