The Hands-On Experience


Kids can discover dinosaur bones and about a hundred other things at the Selma Children's Museum.

Founder LaFawnda Watson transformed a few upstairs rooms at Dallas Academy into a colorful, educational and delightful escape for children.

They can sit in a raft and learn about the Alabama River, bake a pretend pizza and learn about fractions, figure out the time in Australia from a set of clock posters and customize their own puzzles.

The museum also plans to sponsor a kids' movie marathon.

This looks like a fun yet educational way to have some fun during the summer months. :)

I don't know how Ms. Watson was able to do this, but kudos to her...we need more such places where children are able to experience the fun of learning in a free and relaxed environment.

That's not knocking our public schools who do a fair job under tremendous pressures and always without adequate funding...but rather I see this as a complement to our schools and a way to bolster student achievement...

Sounds like a good time.
