Le Musee en Herbe is a museum for kids and they absolutely love it. You can wander around the current exhibitions or take the kids on a guided tour including animations (they must be accompanied by an adult)
How about some of their workshops? Weekends, Wednesdays and many school holiday days. The kids will learn about the current exhibition – the artist and their work – and then be encourage to create their own art in the same style. This is very cool!

Paris is filled with families so there is no reason why you won’t enjoy Paris with yours – you can have a marvellous time and create many wonderful memories. Here are other links for you to look at. Some of these activities are for summer time, but some of them are still fun in colder seasons too:
Once you have booked your accommodation, you could ask the Concierge or Front Desk to recommend babysitters if you and your wife would like to go out on your own at some point.
Have a great trip, do let me know what you love most about Paris after your holiday :-)
If you’re in Paris between December 09 and May next year and you’ve got kids with you, try to visit the Toy Expo held in the Gallery of Toys at the Museum Les Arts Decoratifs. Your kids will love the Playmobil exhibition, “Once upon a time” (Il etait une fois) with small figurines in different scenes.

Photo de famille pour l’exposition « Il était une fois Playmobil », 2009
« Il était une fois Playmobil » retrace à travers quatre grands univers l’aventure de la célèbre figurine devenue en quelques décennies l’un des jouets les plus répandus en France. Depuis sa création, ce petit personnage a évolué en s’adaptant à la vie contemporaine tout en respectant les vies dans lesquelles se projettent les enfants.

If you’re travelling with children, make your kids a Travel Journal before you leave home, and document the things they loved about where they were visiting.
Buy mini-staplers (they’re so tiny!) and glue sticks and supervise if necessary as your kids staple in business cards from toy stores, museums etc you’ve visited. If you forget to buy before you leave home, buy on arrival in a supermarket.
Encourage them to :
DATE each item
DRAW in their Travel Journal
and WRITE about what they liked … and didn’t like :-)
Help them create PAGES at the start of your trip for things like:
What are the new foods I tried?
What is the best candy I tried? (or “lollies”)
What are the new words I learnt?
What are the most fun/boring museums we visited?
Explain how they can answer these questions whenever they like throughout the trip, and they’ll have fun drawing on the pages to remind them.
Show them how to staple cool stuff in their Travel Journal, like:
the entry ticket to a museum
or a brochure about the Catacombs
or a business card from that fabulous icecream place where you had so much fun
perhaps a postcard of a tourist attraction like the Eiffel Tower
or maybe even a price tag from something they purchased, the brighter and more colourful the better
you can even staple in the tear-off luggage tags from their bags – and boarding pass stubs – to get them started.
They can cut out words from tourist brochures and glue or staple into their book, then write what it means in English beside it.
When you get back home, go over your Travel Journals together to remember the fun you had and to share your experiences again – the kids will love this!
My Travel Journals to buy online

The spiral spine allows the kids to open the journals flat or fold under while they write on the pages, great for travelling.
Order these to arrive before you leave on your trip, and the kids can start putting in some headings and questions at the top of the pages.
Be one of the first to own this new Journal!
