Toys, Glorious Toys!

Today's adventure took us to UMKC campus.  It's home of the National Toy and Miniature Museum.  This place is awesome!  The first floor is all things miniature, and the second floor is all things toys.  The kiddos worked on a scavenger hunt throughout the museum that was actually fairly challenging.  We started on the second floor, and the dollhouses were insane!

They have a Hallway of Iconic Toys, and it was a trip down memory lane.   

We got to learn how they used to make toys down an assembly line.  The jack-in-the-box and toy cars were definitely the most fascinating, but Little Guy did say that watching the assembly line of doll heads for Betsy Wetsys was both interesting and a little bit creepy.  

The first floor miniatures were awe inspiring.  The amount of detail was absolutely incredible!

We really loved this museum!
