Children’s Museum of Atlanta launches online learning program while school is out

 

To help you keep your little ones engaged while school is out, the museum has launched a FREE online program called #CMAatHome.

Each weekday at 11 a.m., the museum will provide an interactive activity, vocabulary list, song list, or book recommendation.

For now, this content is static, appearing in the form of a daily blog post. But in the coming days, the program will include virtual activities like live singalongs, story times, and science demonstrations with Professor Labcoat.

Recent activities included making slime, and designing a house the Big Bad Wolf cannot blow over.

Like the other downtown museums, the Children’s Museum of Atlanta has closed its doors to the public and cancelled all its special programming. If you’ve paid for a program in advance, you will receive a refund. Find more info here.

If it’s been a while since you’ve been to The Children’s Museum of Atlanta, it’s time to head back.

The Children’s Museum  is located at 275 Centennial Olympic Park Dr. NW, Atlanta.

With its Gateway to the World, Step Up to Science, and Fundamentally Food exhibitions as well as a Let Your Creativity Flow area, complete with an Arts Studio, paint wall, sand tables, & a stage, there’s plenty for kids to see & do while they’re there.

Even better: You can take advantage of one of these Children’s Museum  discounts & let the kids play and learn on the cheap.
