Spring in the Tot Orchard 🌺🌷🌺

[KidsQuest Children's Museum @KidsQuestCM]

🍎Our Tot Orchard is designed for 0-3 year-olds to crawl, socialize, gather, and dump! Pick an apple, watch it roll, practice walking, or simply enjoy being in a space designed for our little loves to observe and sense new things. It’s the best.

Not everybody aquires language by hearing, some are exposed to languages visually #uniqueways

[I-LABS @UW_ILABS]

Children learn language in unique ways, making errors along the way. No worries! As they hear more language, their words and sentences become more adult-like. Embrace the learning process! 🌱📚 #ILABS #languagelearning

[Putter Bert @KQputter]

What a great spring break opportunity!! Go outside and PLAY!

[I-LABS @UW_ILABS]

Discover the beauty of nature through art with your little ones this #Artsy Thursday! 🌿 Encourage them to observe patterns & textures in plants and create their own masterpieces. This activity fosters creativity, social skills, and fine motor development. #WOYC23 🎨🖌️

[KidsQuest Children's Museum @KidsQuestCM]

Kids are always on the go, which is why they LOVE our exhibit On The Go! Move, schlep, drive, transfer, and launch boxes, cars, and airplanes! Just one of the more than 25 exhbits designed for kids ages 0-10.

Grad workers face rampant discrimination in the workplace at @UNM. But don’t just take it from us. We have testimony after testimony showcasing these horrible working conditions. That’s why we are picketing next week! 🧵
