Look Who Lives in Trees!
March 02, 2014
We headed over to the Children's Museum with some friends last week to check out a new exhibit, Look Who Lives in Trees. The traveling exhibit, which features an indoor treehouse along with learning and building stations, is on loan from Sciencenter in Ithaca, NY, and was put together through a collaboration with EEC! The Environmental Exhibit Collaborative. The exhibit allows kids to track forest-dwelling animals around the treehouse room, peer through stereoscopic viewfinders, and even try their hand at building their own Tinker Toy treehouses. It's a pretty great concept.
A lot of the finer points on sustainability were lost on our young crowd but it was interesting for us to see how many ways we use (eat, drink, even!) trees in our day to day life. This exhibit is a perfect (temporary) addition to the museum for the elementary school set, but the littlest ones will still enjoy a romp through the trees before hitting the bubble room.
Look Who Lives in Trees will be at the Children's Museum through May 17.
