Exploring Nature with Children Museum Week
We can often struggle to attend in person events due to health problems so we’ve often enjoyed virtual visits during this week. They’re also great for all times of the year and to explore so many different topics. If you type in the topic you are doing and ‘virtual museum tour’ in a search engine you often get some great results. Here’s a few websites we’ve found useful to signpost to various virtual museums:
