Our mission to visit every children’s museum in America for free continued last weekend with an impromptu drive to Connecticut. The Stepping Stones Museum for Children, in Norwalk, has been the most impressive so far. Its preschool play area was bright and roomy, with lots of interactive features for The Boss to enjoy. Another exhibit taught kids (and adults) the benefits of good nutrition. And there was an art studio in which to glue and glitter various masterpieces. But the museum’s big hit was the Energy Lab, which housed three stainless steel, kid-level tanks filled with cold water and colorful plastic balls (above). The lesson in thermodynamics didn’t hold The Boss’s attention, but Ron and I had fun blasting plastic balls towards the ceiling with an air cannon.
