We have a lot of that at the copper museum, things for kids to do and
handle. I figure if we can make kids happy, that helps the parents out!
While they're handling, of course, we're hoping they're listening to us talk
about the archaic people who created these tools.

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...

We managed to get a fulltime summer person to keep our museum open during
the day. The Luck museum shares a new building with the Luck library and we
match their 11-6 hours. We get a spillover of kids coming into the museum.
They are mostly 7-14 age. We would like to encourage them to come in and
need some activities for them to do (that are not very hard for us to
setup!).
Any ideas or things that work for you?
