Family Museum


Devin had the idea of creating a Family Museum. He felt as though we have so many interesting things in our home and on our property that we could display them to initiate discussion. I loved the idea!

We plan on changing the items every month or so. What a fun new way for us to learn more about and display historic and interesting items from our attic, cellar, or dug up from our yard!

I have an early childhood program in my home, and we did something similar last year, creating a museum from the stuff the kids dug up in the yard. They sorted the stuff into some plexiglass-fronted boxes that had been donated to us and labeled each one: glass, money, pottery, toy car, etc. We set it all up on a shelf and kept adding and adding to it. Great fun, and so cool to think/talk about where it all came from.

My son loves making family museums. He charges us, but admission is cheap!
