It is only fitting that one of the first exhibits you experience at The DoSeum, San Antonio's Museum for Kids, is a set of spinning, mirrored columns. This simple, interactive feature immediately sets the tone for your visit: engaging, whimsical and full of giggles. I had a wonderful first visit to The Doseum - learning, creating and exploring - and want to share my favorite experiences!

Rockin' The Hits With The KIDZ BOP Kids!

alt Strap on your unicorn ears or big-as-Texas bow, throw on your custom printed shirt and stuff that purse full of snacks, because, mama - you're going to KIDZ BOP!
 
KIDZ BOP Live 2018 performed Sunday, September 23 at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion and featured a diverse cast of KIDZ BOP Kids: Julianna, Isaiah, Freddy and Liv. Billed as the ultimate family concert experience "sung by kids for kids," the quartet sang and danced their hearts through over 20 of today's biggest hit songs. We listen to KIDZ BOP in the car and have never watched their videos before, so my son was really surprised that kids actually do sing these songs!

My family was given the opportunity to participate in the Labor Day Camp and we spent an amazing, active weekend in outdoors... testing our strengths, exploring new passions, goofing around and making memories to last a lifetime.

Introducing Create by CRAVE - CRAVE's new cupcake decorating program!

BY: Karen Logan

I had the most wonderful experience decorating cupcakes with my 10 year old, as part of the Create by CRAVE experience at CRAVE in The Woodlands. 

Now I bet you’re thinking “I decorate cupcakes at home with my kids all the time. What’s so special about Create by CRAVE?” 

In a word, everything. 

When I decorate cupcakes at home, I end up with a plate of puny cupcakes all decorated with chocolate icing and blue sprinkles. On the contrary, the photo below is just a sampling of the cupcake creations you can make at Crave! How’s this for inspiration? 

 

The difference between CRAVE – voted consecutively as “Houston’s Best Cupcakes” -  and my house? Well, most importantly, you get to start with bakery-quality, fresh, gourmet cupcakes as a base. No offense to my faithful box of Betty Crocker mix, but sometimes, only the best will do!

A Night Under The Stars At Space Center Houston

altMy five year old son and I recently spent an amazing weekend pretending we were astronauts, building rockets and sharing whispers beneath the glow of a space station. Pack your sleeping bags and prepare for one of Houston's most unique camping experiences -- under the stars or amongst some of the rarest spaceflight artifacts on Earth -- as part of an Overnight Family Campout at Space Center Houston.
