Children play different animals.
Shanghai Natural History Museum is celebrating its 9th anniversary with a number of events through April 26.
On April 18, the day that marks the anniversary, the museum invited more than 20 children who were born in April to a birthday party.
They took selfies with the museum's mascot "Ke Meng," tried handicrafts, and got a birthday present which included the museum's science books and souvenirs.
Another highlight was a "tea party with rare animals" – an interactive role-play promoting nature knowledge.
