Kaleidoscope

    We had to get in one more fun day before school started back up. We headed to Kaleidoscope! From their website: Kaleidoscope is a free art-making space for kids and their accompanying adults. Located in Crown Center in downtown Kansas City, Kaleidoscope is Hallmark’s gift to kids and families.

    During each 50-minute studio session, kids are invited to explore and create in an open-ended way. Using materials leftover from Hallmark’s manufacturing processes (all sorts of paper, stickers, ribbon, and more), Crayola supplies (crayons, markers, paint), and their own vivid imaginations, kids are empowered to have their own creative experiences. There’s no expected outcome, and all ideas and interpretations are welcome. The possibilities are endless." 

    It is hard to describe so I had to reassure the kids several times that they would love this place once they got in. I had to practically drag them out. It was difficult to find from the parking garage though. They have several elevators and we took a few wrong ones before finally getting the right one. So we were a tad late for our appointment. Next time I will know better what to do.

        Next door is the Hallmark Museum. We heading there to check it out. There was a bow-making machine that the kids adored. Teddy made about four bows before I stopped him. They have a wall entirely made up of crayons.

It was a fun visit.
