#MuseumofFundon is here! A series of fun online and offline activities for families to try at home. @kidsinmuseums

[London Museum @LDN_Museum]

Fancy trying a 150-year-old craft activity? The Victorians loved decorating 'penny plains' - souvenir images of famous actors or heroes. Try it yourself using felt tips & colouring pencils or embellishments like sequins & glitter! https://t.co/NS3fLBaTRf #MuseumofFundon

What (if anything) is your organisation doing to update safeguarding practice and/or policy as we switch to digital? And is your organisation collecting content created/shared through digital streams?

[Early Years Network @EYMuseumNetwork]

Have you been busy making new content to connect with your audiences online? @moataylorhodin is interested in finding out how safeguarding practices have been adapted for digital learning in different organisations.

Enjoyed participating in my first Museum Hour!

[GEM @gem_heritage]

It’s been a pleasure to team up with @engagevisualart to talk about #EarlyYears in #Museums #Galleries and #Heritage sites.

We will be publishing a Twitter Moment to recap soon! #MuseumHour

[Early Years Network @EYMuseumNetwork]

@gem_heritage @engagevisualart Thanks so much!

[Early Years Network @EYMuseumNetwork]

@FitzMuseumEduca @museumhour @MumwithaviewUK @gem_heritage @engagevisualart Of course! We actually had some filming done at the last session before closure so hopefully I can share that with you soon :)

[Early Years Network @EYMuseumNetwork]

@MumwithaviewUK @museumhour @gem_heritage @engagevisualart We were running sessions with elders from a care home and 2-3 year olds - it's called Memories and Music :)

[Early Years Network @EYMuseumNetwork]

@MumwithaviewUK @FitzMuseumEduca @museumhour @WhitworthArt It totally should!!!

[Early Years Network @EYMuseumNetwork]

@FitzMuseumEduca @MumwithaviewUK @museumhour @WhitworthArt Totally agree with this. We found our baby group parents/carers, who met at the sessions, all started going for lunch together
