Al Sideen draws ChooChoo
The Spring Break fun continues at the Manitoba Children’s Museum!
Al Sideen, author of the “Learn to Draw” series for kids, will be by today to teach museum visitors how to draw from 11:00AM – 3:00PM. This is sure to be a great experience for budding artists, and not something to miss out on!
I had a friend ask Al to draw a picture of me using his special techniques - see the final product on the left. What do you think? I think it turned out great!!!
Oh, and my friends at Shop, the museum’s own toy store, also reminded me that they carry a wide range of Al’s “Learn to Draw” books. To learn more or to purchase one from Shop online, click here.
Hope to see you at the museum today,

I’m so excited! I get to spend the afternoon at St. Vital Centre today (March 30th). From 1:00PM - 4:00PM my friends from the Manitoba Children’s Museum will have face painting and craft making for everyone to do for free! If you come and visit us you can make your very own bird feeder to hang outside. You can find them in the hallway close to Sears this afternoon only!
