  Play encourages your child to push the limits of the world they know. Unstructured play, like interacting with exhibits and environments at Children's Discovery Museum, where there is no prescribed way to play, is particularly important in helping children foster essential skills for making their way through life: emotional coping, problem-solving and planning. Through creative play and chances to direct their own actions, children learn to solve problems, make decisions, express ideas, and recognize boundaries.

  History San Jose presents the Time Travelers Summer Camp: a two-week long experience where 8 - 12-year-old campers get hands-on experiences to explore the past. Camp runs Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 2:00pm. Enroll your young adventurer to become a Time Traveler in Training. What were toys like in the 1850s? What sort of jobs did people have before computers? How did people dress, make art, and have fun in the past? Our chrononaut agents will learn everything they need to know to visit eight distinct time periods after our immersive crash course. This year, we'll be thinking about how our current time period changes how we envision the past and future, and campers will build their very own exhibit to show friends and family on the last day of camp.

  Chores made easy.... That's a great idea!! Kids want to be responsible; they want to have a purpose and independence, but somehow us parents made it ok for them to forget those very same values we were raised with. If there were a way to create a craving in children to do their chores, wouldn't you want to experience that for yourself? It's like a snowball that starts out as an awkward shy kid that gets nudged down the mountain. One cycle at a time getting bigger, stronger, and gaining momentum to make smart choices, and take care of themselves because they've learned just how great that feels, for themselves. We're not saying our apps are magic, but from day one the goal has been the same. Help families work together. Help kids find energy in being responsible and taking control in productive ways. They need it... The world is really complicated these days but there's nothing more precious than raising kids and having a young family. I know I personally miss those days. Kids are growing up in a time and space that we have yet to truly understand but one thing is certain, technology has a grip on every generation these days so we should learn to embrace, and how best to use it. Download the app for free. Give it a try and if you don't love it just let us know why and we'll fix it. (less) ... Read more
