Looked after GS (5 & 6 this week and took them to castles (much enjoyed) museum (quite fun) playground (great) and a Heritage Centre "suitable for all the family" Gruffalo Trail wonderful; wooden figures in wood and lots to look at. Adventure Playground not open, Working models of Beam Engine & Water wheel, plus the actual things great. Then we looked at a Victoria cottage. We looked in every room and found it goointeresting and different to now, then we climbed up the stairs and in a bedroom - a skeleton. This lit up, made noises and though one GS laughed the other didn't. No warning that some areas might be unsuitable for small children (the Gruffalo Trail draws families with small ones in) 5 year old woke up in the night talking about the scary skeleton. DD emailed me with queries. Should I ring venue and ask them to put notices up warning of the possible scary items? Don't want to spoil older childrens "fun", but want to be able to go places with GS at half terms!
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
