safety - jobs/careers
ship - jungle gym
skyline - beautiful watercolor
open layout...almost too much walkway, made the exhibits seem smaller.
Build-Create
most interactive spot between parents and kids.
Most popular site was the jungle gym ship
Waterworks was another popular site...good ideas...better execution of the design would encourage more interaction between parents and kids.
Focus on community, neighborhood, boosting self-esteem.
artwork center: focus on sculpting, reading, painting
What kids their age wanted to change about their communities and neighborhoods:
trash
have block parties
more trees
less gun violence
more attention to younger kids to keep them out of gangs
share knowledge.
large chess set
some kids knew how to play
others just kicked the pieces
archaeological dig site
interesting idea, since our site is underground. this area managed to keep the children entertained, but the parents just sat and watched. a huge sense of discovery though for the kids.
game telephone came to mind
Big Backyard area, cool idea, but underutilized. i liked being able to catch the rain.
Inventors..."kids are some of the best inventors"
make a flying machine and time how long it took to land from the top of the tower.
video game...goal was to get the backpack into the clubhouse
move obstacles around to achieve goal
inventors their age - relate to other kids and become inspired
piano slide-
made noise as you slid down
self - esteem boosters
write a compliment and give it to your child
tell us what you like about your face...etc.
shadows
materials: soft, hard, very durable. overall extremely boring, and lack of color.
treehouse: raised above ground
cabins - washing dishes
veggie garden
trails - canoes
streams
ponds
bridges - treehouse slide - peter pan's neverland came to mind
animal homes
climbing at a campsite
play space was locked on a saturday!
ambulance - liked to climb inside of it see how it feels to be behind the wheel.
stairs were a huge inconvenience. and took up some of the largest space.
most of the museum seemed to be directed towards ages 9 and below.
