The boys and I traveled to the Tucson Children's Museum to experience their Fun with Food Fridays. It's a great concept that pairs local chefs from the Tucson Originals Restaurant partners and provides a fun but educational culinary experience. The best part was that the boys were able to eat their creations.

For those that haven't been to the Tucson Children's Museum, it is located in the heart of downtown Tucson. The food class was included in the price of the museum entrance, but you do have to register because the class will fill up. Each class starts at 2:00pm on certain Fridays.

TWSY Blog 2010 - Childrens MuseumOur Friday was dubbed "The Protein Team" and stressed the importance of protein and how it is beneficial to our health. The boys were able to have some hands on experiences as they assisted in preparing the foods. Needless to say, hand sanitizer and food prep gloves were everywhere and the kids had fun with this part of the class.

In the end, the boys created their own bean burritos and happily munched on their tasty treats. The class is probably best suited for children younger than our boys. Nevertheless, they ate and played like any child would do in a children's wonderland, like the Tucson Children's Museum.

This week's prize is a one night stay in the Presidential Suite at Doubletree Reid Park with a candlelight dinner for two, and a Tucson Newspaper Summer Golf Card. Winner will be selected July 7, 2010.

It's important that children learn which foods are beneficial for their bodies. Sounds like a neat program that makes this activity fun.

This looks like fun my girls are 8 and 11 so they are on the cusp of still enjoying this. We're going to try and register for the Grow up with Grains.

That sounds like a lot of fun. My three girls would enjoy. Sometimes the best things are right where we live and we dont even realize it!

Fun with Food sounds cool- brought my son to the museum yesterday after having not been inside for many years. I didn't know about Fun with Food Fridays though, might have to go back soon and check it out.
