Children’s Museum celebrates universal language of children
Published 7:00 pm, Sunday, April 4, 2010
Being a child is a lot of fun, but it’s even more fun when you can express yourself! Learn about storytelling, forensic science, animal calls, and other ways to communicate and discover information as the Children’s Museum of Houston explores language in celebration of the Universal Language of Children photo exhibit. This exhibit illustrates how children from all corners of the earth speak the same language.
The Spotlight Performance features Linda Befeld. Many societies have spoken histories passed down through stories. Listen to storyteller Linda Befeld tell magical tales from all over the world.
Event time is Thursday, 6:30 p.m. during Free Family Night and Saturday at 2 p.m.

?Communication Sensation: Animals have some pretty amazing communication skills. Learn about bird songs, frog chirps, and mammal wails at EcoStation. Make froggy musical instruments and even create your own wildlife call.
Fascinating Forensics: Many children enjoy curling up with a good mystery. But did you know there are people who use science to help solve crimes in real life? Head to Science Station to learn about that science, called forensics. Analyze fingerprints, ink, and more to crack the case. Evidence is a language in itself!
Childhood Junktion: Find magazine pictures to show what you think it means to be a child, then craft them into a collage! Make a frame for your collage or for another special memory using recyclable materials.
