Going to the Movies…2012 TIFF Kids International Film Festival

[ 0 ] 4.16.2012 |

Just wanted to let you know that Kidoinfo will be taking a break from posting this week. We are taking a road trip to the TIFF Kids International Film Festival — first time attending a festival other than our beloved Providence Children’s Film Festival. Part vacation (fueling our family’s film passion) and part work as we will be interviewing people in the industry and previewing films for the 2013 Providence Children’s Film Festival.

Introducing Imagination Playground

Introducing Imagination Playground

[ 1 ] 4.10.2012 |

Imagine dozens of excited kids turned loose in a room filled with big blue foam blocks of all shapes and sizes. Using oversized cogs, wheels, spools and tubes, they create whimsical sculptures, construct castles and forts, and design vibrant vehicles that move. Joining curvy blocks with grooves, they form elaborate ramps and tracks and send balls rolling through. They stack, connect, design, configure and play – the possibilities are endless!

Museum visitors can join a week-long block party in celebration of Imagination Playground, all day Monday, April 16 to Sunday, April 22. Then look for the blocks on weekends through June; summer schedule will vary. Imagination Playground is free with $8.50 Museum admission; always free for Museum members. For more information, visit www.ChildrenMuseum.org.
