A Mobile Museum - Our presence at CCPPNS 64th Annual Convention

On the Friday, 22nd of March 2013, we started at 6:00 AM from Fremont, California  to attend the CCPPNS (California Council of Parent Participation Nursery Schools) 64th Annual Convention held at Oakland, California. We had a booth along with the other vendors. The most interesting and fun part was that we had two exhibits set up in the child care room - A mini mobile museum. We had a bird seed table where the children played scoop and pour. An art project with finger painting which was also a fun experience. We happily brought out the child in ourselves as we worked with the children at these exhibits.

The bird seed bin was an instant hit. Children enjoyed scooping, pouring, measuring, counting and comparing as they played.

The set up at our booth

We spoke to teachers, parents, and community members about our dream and received some volunteer sign-ups. We also passed out flyers for our next event, a free puppet show at Fremont Library. Overall, it was a busy and fun-filled day of meeting, greeting and playing.
