On Thursday we rode over to Flevorpark and took park in an urban foraging walk for kids. We learned how to identify several plants, including Elder, Plantain, Mugwart, Hazel and Poppy. We also saw the plant that was the inspiration for Velcro! It was a lot of fun, and at the end we made our own pizzas in a wood-fired oven. The photos below were taken off of the website for the walk since we were all too engaged in what we were learning to take pics that day.

Friday was our last day of staycation. We toured the palace in Dam Square, something M has asked about since we arrived here. They had a great (free) audio tour for kids that centered around a kid, the child of Louis Napoleon, who once lived in the palace. It included quiz questions and a medal for attaching stickers. If you answered the questions correctly the stickers around the perimeter spelled out a message. We all really enjoyed this.
After the palace we went to the Amsterdam Museum where we enjoyed a special kids exhibit about the 17th century orphanage in which the museum is now housed.
