Silent Auction Tree Blog Feature: Des Moines Children’s Museum

We would like to welcome back the Des Moines Children’s Museum for their second year with the Christkindlmarket Des Moines Silent Auction. They have chosen the charmed theme of Harry Potter to enchant us all this holiday season.

The Hogwarts Christmas tree will have an assortment of colorfully decorated wands, and iconic images from the Harry Potter universe.  Bright garlands of house colors, a sorting hat, and a clever mischief managed tree skirt will help complete the magical tree.

“Des Moines Children’s Museum is a 501 (c)(3) that is all about the power of play,” explains co-founder, Julie Burtnette.

“Children learn when they play and having a local children’s museum in Greater Des Moines will benefit families now and in the future.  DSM CM has a temporary location at Valley West Mall while it continues to educate and raise funds for a permanent location.”

Burtnette encourages everyone to check out their FaceBook page and website for upcoming events including a winter party, inaugural Giggle Gala and a family Valentine ’s Day party.

“Building the foundation of lifelong learning by promoting play is so much fun!”
