Children's Museums

Children's Museums can be wonderful places for kids to learn, and they are found in many parts of the world.  In many of the cities we have lived in since we have been a family there have been children's museums.  It so happens that one of the best children's museums is within an hour drive for us, the Children's Museum of Indianapolis.  
The Indianapolis Children’s Museum is one of the greatest resources for any family, but especially for Christian families.  Why?  The Pharaoh’s tomb in the basement is a great introduction into the time and place of the events of the Bible.  So much can be learned from archaeology that can help us understand the Bible better.  Also, kids learn in many different ways.  Some kids learn by sitting at a desk and listening to a teacher.  Some kids learn by doing.  This is for those kids.  There is also a Egyptian exibit which will also help kids understand other cultures into which the gospel will go when they go.  It is also a great place to see how you and your kids deal with the issue of dinosaurs and evolution and a literal or figurative six days of creation.  Whatever your belief, it will force the question early on so that you and your children can learn.  You and your kids must also interact with lots of people, because the museum is exteremely popular.  So there is a lot of learning.  Learning by doing.  Learning by seeing.  Learning by thinking up ideas.  And last but certainly not least, social learning.
