Let's Pretend. - Little Bit City,

Last weekend the hubby and I took the kids to Pretend City, a children’s museum here in Orange County where kids have the chance to explore all different kinds of pretend play. We had never been before and had heard wonderful things about the museum so we were excited to check it out. What an amazing facility it is, I was seriously blown away by all the fun activities they have for kids. They had everything from a Post Office to a Doctor’s Office to a Grocery Store and a Farm. Real, hands on opportunities for my kids to expand their imagination and explore all different kinds of jobs.

One of the most exciting parts about our trip was that Pretend City and PBSSoCal had partnered up for a “Meet Martha Speaks” event. One Sunday each month you can visit Pretend City and meet one of the great characters from their PBS shows. We had such a great time and Katelyn’s already talking about wanting to go back. There were so many great areas to explore I almost feel like I would need several trips for the kids to have the opportunity to explore all that Pretend City Museum has to offer.

Here’s my little model. All ready to go and play.

She wanted to start in the Arts & Crafts room where they were creating and painting. They even have employees to help the kids in each room and they will chat with you about what develop milestones, such as using small scissors, you child should be meeting.

Brayden loved all the cars they had at the museum. We couldn’t take our eyes off him for a second or he’d be off looking for a car to ride around in.

I think our favorite rooms were the Dentist and Doctor’s offices. The kids loved helping Daddy take X-rays and brush his teeth.

Then it was off to the Doctor’s office where they listened to their heartbeat, checked to see how tall they were, and made a few office phone calls.

We even had the chance to meet Martha Speaks while we were there. Katelyn was too shy to get in the picture, but Brayden was all about getting his picture taken with Martha.

I think this might be one of my favorite pictures from our day. It really sums up how much fun the kids had at Pretend City. I’ll definitely be taking them back again soon.

Thanks Pretend City and PBS SoCal for such a great day!!
