Would love to hear of any Under 5 activities for kids not in school at museums/galleries/heritage venues. If your local venue doesn’t have one, have you ever asked why not?

Why were carrots eaten on lolly sticks and parsnips used instead of pineapple? Why were people encouraged to ‘Dig For Victory’ and what is Woolton Pie?
Visit IWM North in Manchester, part of Imperial War Museums, during the October half term holidays (22 – 30 October 2011) and discover how rationing affected the lives of everyday people during the Second World War.
Free and fun for all the family, the Ministry of Food week-long series of activities will allow visitors to explore the theme of rationing and growing your own food. With artefacts, posters and archive footage, hands-on arts and creative sessions as well as storytelling, the programme will bring the realities of rationing to life. There are even Food Glorious Food sing-a-long sessions for under 5s!
For more information, visit IWM.org.uk.
