experimentarium
Today we went to the Experimentarium (which is a bit like Questacon, but in Hugo’s words “EVEN BETTER!” … I don’t think it’s better, but probably on par). It’s full of science-y exploration and learning through play activities.
They had a soap bubble show … I don’t actually know what it was about because it was in Danish, but the bubbles were cool. About half way through, Hugo turned to me and said “Mummy, I have NO IDEA what he’s saying!” and neither did I! but we had fun watching. The absolutely best bit was when he used a match to set the bubbles on FIRE!
But possibly more exciting than bubbles was the marble run.
Those of you know know Hugo will recognise how excited he is by his flapping hands. This is something he’s done since he was a very small baby, although back then we called it “starfish hands” and it was more opening and closing his hands than flapping. The funny thing is Sophie copies him now, and when she’s excited she flaps her hands … the same way she imitates him laughing.
