Family visiting

A person acquires his/her main visions of the world in the very early childhood, at a preschool age. That’s why the right vision of the reality ensures successful gaining of new knowledge, quick development of new types of activity, adaptation in a new situation, high rate of activity, child’s confidence in his/her own forces.

Child’s individuality develops in an educative ambience consisting of direct human contacts and indirect impacts (mass media, books, Internet and others). Fur the purpose of helping children to systemize this knowledge and give this knowledge a systematic character their parents try to ring the changes on the children’s impression by visiting different educational institutions and cultural and entertainment centers. The museum is such an entertainment center. Due to the mentioned above the Tula exotarium became the basis for organizing week end lessons for parents and their children at the age from 2.5 to 11 as this is the age when the emotions are the most lively impressions kept in a person’s memory for good.

The goal is to attract as many visitors as possible creating new informational structures “Family visits”.

The tasks are:

  • to help a new generation to master the culture of the mankind and, first of all, to find their niche in the society;
  • to gain and extend knowledge of the environment;
  • to foster family-building;
  • to bring up its own visitor.

    Our program includes four lessons a month during which parents with their children get to know about an animal and various types of activity such as puzzles with various animals, painting, modeling, application, doing origami, didactic games.
