The Kindergarten children who spend their afternoons at K.I.D.S. Inc. enjoyed the field trip to Dalnavert Museum. For some of them, it was an adventure just going on the bus as it was their first time. Dalnavert is a restored home that was built in 1895 so the tour was like walking into the Victorian past.  The kitchen utensils were very unique and some we still use today, such as a potato ricer.  The size of the can opener was a surprise to the children because it was so large.  Each room was elegant and pristine.  The bathroom on the second floor had a huge deep tub and the water tank for the toilet was up on the wall with a pull chain.  The children enjoyed making a Coat of Arms.  We would have liked a longer time there to explore the house and grounds.
