For parents and educators: the Museum of Creativity

The Museum of Creativity is a free, self-paced reading, art and writing lesson in the City of Creativity from United By Creativity, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Children meet Lyra Finch, the Museum’s felt curator, and explore four galleries.

What children practice

Finding a supporting sentence in an informational label, telling observation apart from imagination, describing an artwork with details, listening for tempo and dynamics, writing an interpretation for another visitor, revising their own artwork, and describing a story setting a reader can picture. Selected Missouri grade 3 alignments are listed for grown-ups.

Privacy and access

No account or email. Work stays in the child’s browser. Read-aloud, speech input and drawing are built in, and the lesson works with a keyboard, mouse or touch, in English, French, Spanish and Luganda.
