Henri Rousseau

For today's Fabulous Fine Art, we focused on Henri Rousseau (1844 - 1910), a French painter. He is best known for his jungle paintings. The kids made their own jungle scenes--and each one reflects the individual's imagination (that's very important to us here at CMOM)!

Sorry about my shadow in the above picture. Next week's Fabulous Fine Art focus is the spectacular Andy Warhol. The program is every Saturday at 11 a.m. See you there!

SUCCESS!

Clifford was a total success! Check out these pictures:

A bit blurry, but Clifford and I quickly became BFF's. Can't you tell?

Professional face-painters? Umm...YES PLEASE!

Pretty butterfly!

Doggy ears! Isn't she cute?

Our CFO Jenny and I had a bit TOO much fun on the Moon Bounce.

So you missed out on Clifford? Don't worry...Spongebob Squarepants is making an appearance at CMOM November 21! We'll have crafts, games, and picture time with the coolest guy from Bikini Bottom! Stay tuned for more info...

I <3 Saturdays!

SUPER SATURDAY AT CMOM!

(Because who doesn't love Saturdays?)

So, I love Saturdays in general, especially at CMOM, but this Saturday (tomorrow, September 26) is going to be super exciting because we've got programs going on ALL DAY!

• 10:00-12:30 Kids in the Kitchen Join our special guests in the group entrance (in front of the Malco) to learn about eating and cooking healthy and enjoy some special snacks.
• 11:00 Animal Art Come get creative and make something wild! Choose between a cute panda, a silly hippo, or a wise owl!
• 12:00 & 12:30 Music Makers Join our friends from the Memphis Youth Symphony as we jump in to the world of music. Hear a young musician play a famous instrument, learn about its sounds, and get the chance to play it yourself!
• 1:00 Building Brainstorm Workshop Ever wondered what it's like to be an architect? Come help us celebrate the arrival of our new "Building Brainstorm" exhibit with an educational--and fun!--activity using toothpicks and marshmallows.
• 3:00 Eco Kids Club Yay planet Earth! Explore and investigate the world around us! Learn about the migration of monarch butterflies and find out when you can see them fly through Memphis!

See why I'm so excited? Hope to see you tomorrow! (And don't forget...next Saturday is another reason to celebrate: CLIFFORD IS COMING TO CMOM!)
