Is It RAINING On Your Summer Fun? Check Out the Cape Cod Children's Museum By: Britt Is it RAINING on your summer fun?! Here's a good indoor place to check out! Cape Cod Children's Museum 577 Great Neck Road South, Mashpee, MA Kinesthetic learning is a learning style in which learning takes place by the students carrying out physical activities, rather than listening to a lecture or watching demonstrations. People with a preference for kinesthetic learning are also commonly known as "do-ers" Says any college education class or school. You know who loves to hands on learn? YOUR KIDS. They need to touch, hear, smell, see, lick, dance, and experience with their whole body. Sometimes I get sad when I see article about "Let kids play! It's how they learn!" Umm.... ya, precisely. I hate that people have to be told that. I wish it was common knowledge. Let your kid touch, jump, wear costumes, bang instruments. put together puzzles, pretend to drive a tractor, slam on a fake cash register, play with other children.
That's what the children's museum is on Cape Cod.
A place for kids to be free and experience hands on learning. The museum sells memberships that make it so cheap for you to go and play. They run classes and fun events constantly. Keep your kids active and exploring! Check it out in Mashpee! Cape Cod Children's Museum More information on events at the museum and other similar activities on our activities calendar!  Britt is a Beach bum, Mom, Wife, Sister, Friend, Coach, Wanna be Photographer, Special needs advocate, Library enthusiast, Yogi, Mom blogger. Britt lives in a barn on Cape Cod with her husband, two toddlers, and stinky black lab. You can read more of her adventures at You're Somebody's MOTHER.
