is green and sustainable!
Hey
kids!
Want to….
Draw,
paint, cut, glue in the Hands-on Art Room.
We supply the best art materials and the only rule is
to GO NUTS
and create whatever you want. (making a mess is ok too!)
Be
a master planner and DESIGN
A NEW WORLD out of blocks in all sorts
of crazy shapes and sizes at the Architexture
Station – the sky is truly the only limit!
Want
to become a work of video art? Well you can here in
Recollections 4.5. One, two, three
- jump in the air - and see your body frozen in space
on a giant, psychedlic screen. FAR
OUT!
GO
DUTCH! Why don’t you make a mock
oyster, cheese, pancake sandwich in our replica of a
Dutch kitchen (right out of a painting in the museum)?
I’ll bet the captain of our REAL
17th century ship is hungry from chasing pirates! AHOY
MATEY!
You
say you're age 5 and under? Well, we’ve got you
covered. Planet Preschool is a whole
room of textures, shapes and colors AND you get to TOUCH
EVERYTHING. (Did we mention the climbing/hiding
fort?!) or you could…
Explore
the Native American Collection and
sit in a see-thru teepee, do a “breeze of blessing
dance” inside an Egungan costume from West
African Vistas, Invent a story and then make
it come true in the Shadow Play super

in the Reading Nook.
…Have
a blast!
