How about an area that is the opposite of a "Do Not Touch" area.
Things that they can handle and learn about. A wash board that they
can pretend to wash clothes on, a collection of arrowheads with a
demo of how they were attached to arrows, some costumes for them to
try on, maybe a button up shoe with a button hook.
Just some thoughts...
