Educator Handbook: Kids Corner

 

Kids Corner

 

Constructed in 2001, Kids Corner is an area designed for children pre-K through grade one. Due to the small size of this area, groups are scheduled approximately 15 children at a time. As with other programs, use of the Kids Corner by groups is reserved in advance.

Activities are tied to these themes: fossils, the river, different ways to travel and nature. Children can work with puzzles, make rubbings of fossils, build a bridge with blocks, pilot a “steamboat,” play with toy animals, listen to stories, have a puppet tell a story and more.
