(145 Brooklyn Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213-1930) A pioneer in education, the Brooklyn Children's Museum was the first museum created expressly for children when it was founded in 1899. Its success sparked the creation of similar institutions around the globe, and today the Museum continues as a world-class institution with community roots. With a recent expansion, all-new exhibits, and all-new programs, the Museum is now both the world's oldest and the world's newest children's museum. feedback@famplosion.com (Amy in Brooklyn) Wed, 14 Jan 2009 10:48:44 -0800 http://www.famplosion.com/venues/7013-Brooklyn-Children-s-Museum?utm_campaign=rss_venues&utm_content=Brooklyn+Children%27s+Museum&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=venues http://www.famplosion.com/venues/7013-Brooklyn-Children-s-Museum en-us (02/08/12 - 09/21/12) Totally Tots is the Museum’s early-learner exhibit—just for children 5 and under (and their grown-ups)—a colorful, whimsical world where kids are in charge! For those under 18 months, explore the Baby Hub, a vibrant oasis filled with bright colors, playful shapes, and padded structures that provide a safe place to practice crawling, standing, and taking first steps. For those older than 18 months, check out Water Wonders, a water-play area anchored by a large pond with toys for pouring, measuring, experimenting, and creating stories. You can also visit the Art Studio with its creative projects, explore music and sound on a multi-level climbing structure housing a host of instruments, and talk with far-away friends on a walkie-talkie tube. Try digging in the colorful sand, or practice reading under the colorful tent filled with books. Make a skyscraper in the Building Zone, or in the Little Theater try on costumes, step up to the stage, and put on a show. The exhibit also includes great resources for grown-ups, including the MetLife Parent Junction with articles and tips on local activities, nutrition, literacy, and more. (Totally Tots is also available for private play dates!
