What is a Children's Museum A children's museum is a place where children learn through play and exploration in environments and experiences created just for them. These museums feature interactive exhibits that are designed to be manipulated by children and guided by an adult (parent, grandparent, caregiver). This hands-on approach inspires young minds to take an active role that results in learning through play. Children learn about animal biology and caring for pets by role-playing in a kid - sized veterinary clinic, or about math and sorting at a pretend grocery store, or about performance art by dressing up and putting on a play on the theater stage. At each exhibit there are a variety of roles that children can choose from and each role exposes them to a different set of learning opportunities. For instance, at the theater, children could choose to be a stagehand and manipulate the curtains and props, a lighting/video/sound engineer and manage the AV board, or be an actor or director. The possibilities are as endless as a child's imagination. Why Start Children's Museum IYA6I"ATI '" Mol SIV two W TO 110RU5 TNI t1p M :. BUT 1111X00111 Rl6o rpRa1 P_ Fu rioa Children's museums feature hands-on interactive exhibits that motivate learning and address the sruoio developmental needs of children. There are over 300 children's museums in the Association of Children's Museums network, but none in Idaho. The Treasure Valley has a total population of over 690,000, and close to 100,000 children under the age of ten.* Families need a place where young children can be inspired to become lifelong learners in environ- ; _ ments that promote purposeful play. le Ch'ddrens Museum of Idaho C41DANO.org IMAGES COURTESY OF IMAGINE CHIERORENS MUSEUM "Interactive Demographic Report: http://wvrw.gemstateprospe(tor.(om/demographi(s.html - Source: GSP 012017 Ch) dreWs Museum of Idaho Objectives Crea-bvitW• 6ajimtm • �eamivff• �avjktor When you support the Children's Museum of Idaho you inspire kids to dream big". The objectives of the Children's Museum of Idaho are to provide: • A dynamic hands-on, engaging, and unstructured educational experience where children ages 2-8, along with the adults in their lives, learn through purposeful play, • A place for children to encounter unique oppor- tunities for discovery, creativity and imagination; • An enriching atmosphere that is accessible to children and their families, regardless of their disability or income; • An opportunity for teens and seniors in the community to volunteer, • An atmosphere that fosters positive intergenera- tional relationships by encouraging adult -child interaction; • An indoor and outdoor exhibit area designed to connect children with their natural environment, • An unplugged zone where phones and electronic devices are discouraged. Needs Launching a children's museum is an immense under- taking but we are confident that it is something our community needs and will support with their time and resources. Our plan is to rent, buy or build a 15,000 square foot building centrally located in the Treasure Valley. When children enter the building they will be transported into a world designed especially for them. Just imagine a place where children become explorers, storytellers, scientists, bankers, musicians, astronauts, chefs or anything they can dream up. In order to make this vision a reality we are counting on your support. Here are a few of our initial needs: • Major exhibit sponsors (bank, grocer, veterinarian, building material supplier, dentist, doctor, garden center, restaurant, etc.) • Individual and corporate donors • Exhibit creation volunteers (artists, carpenters, generally handy people) Proposed Exhibits ...what a fun place to learn! • Dinosaur Pit (sand, fossils, digging tools, buckets, climb on linos, sit-in lino eggs) • Veterinary Clinic (exam table, stuffed animals, casts, splints, collars, x-rays) • Cave (walk through, glowworm lights, find bugs, plants and animals, bat costumes) • Construction (Bilderhoos building slats, gutters, plumbing parts, apron, hard hat) • Sailing Ship (climb aboard ship, hoist flag and sails, steer, stow cargo) • Post Office (write letters/cards, stamp, sort, conveyor belt for packages, deliver mail) • Frontier (covered wagon, teepee, canoe, life-size buffalo) • Police Car with flashing lights • Farm (chick incubator, tractor, plant vegetables, pick fruit, groom life-size farm animals) • Fire Engine with flashing lights • Bank (ATM, teller, money drawers) • Theater (lights, sound, costumes, stage, dressing room, musical instruments) • Grocery (grocery carts, boxed/canned/pretend food, cash register, scanner, scale) • Town Square (Toddler town) • Cafe (rotates every quarter to anew restaurant and theme) • Trains (assorted manual trains and accessories, wooden tracks) • Doctor (exam table, monitors, anatomy puzzle, x-rays, scale, ambulance, baby dolls) • Airport (sit-in plane with controls, luggage, conveyor belt, maps) • Dentist (chair, giant teeth with roots -some removable, giant toothbrush, x-rays) • Space (space suit, sit-in space ship with controls, planet mobiles) YOU can make a difference through CQd nts g re volunteerism andfinancial support.
