Toys: The Inside Story - June 13, 2008 through September 28, 2008
If your parents never let you break open your Etch A Sketch® to find out how it works, or if you've been wondering how to stop your toddler's push toy from making such an infernal racket, you'll love Toys: The Inside Story. This exhibition illustrates the simple mechanisms commonly found in toys and lets visitors create their own toy-like combinations of gears, pulleys, linkages, cams, and circuits. Many of the exhibits are free-form and open-ended. >>Read More...
The exhibit is based on the beloved Curious George books and the new Curious George PBS Kids series from WGBH Boston. With 2,500 square feet of fun and meaningful activities, the exhibit will pique visitors’ curiosity and engage children in key math, science, and engineering experiences. Like George, visitors will let inquiry and curiosity be their guides as they explore and experiment with new ideas, challenges, and materials. Exhibit messages will emphasize the critical role parents and caregivers play in supporting children’s early learning.
