Preschool Science Class at Chabot on Tuesdays

I took my son to the Tyke Explorer class at Chabot Space and Science Center today.  The museum is actually closed to the general public  on Mondays and Tuesdays since it is fall, so finding parking is easy!  Today the theme was, "And Yummy Veggies In A Row." The students got a cute story, they samples different kind of veggies in the root, stem, leaf, and fruits category, and even put all the extras in a food processor for the children to sample the drink!  My son actually had thirds so I'm going to get one of those magical machines for myself!  I wonder if the magical instrument will help MY son drink more veggies?  I'll let you know in future posts!

I highly recommend these classes as each child is required to bring a parent/guardian so there is really some learning happening!  My son even came home with several projects he had done in class!
