Tots Program at Brooklyn Museum

Children under the age of five now have a special place to call their own with Totally Tots, the newest exhibition opening at Brooklyn Children’s Museum (BCM) on Saturday, December 8. Inspired by BCM’s 27,000-object natural science and cultural collection, this 1,700 square foot permanent gallery especially for the early learner provides opportunities for families to learn and play together.

“This new exhibition is the first step in accomplishing the goals of the Museum’s Learning Early Initiative,” said Carol Enseki, President of Brooklyn Children’s Museum. “It encourages children to use their imaginations, explore the world around them, and find creative solutions. It also allows parents and caregivers to take an active role in this wonderful growth process.”

Miniature trolleys link 6 activity areas. Children make “stops” along the way that are in line with their developmental stages and interests. Activities feature colors, patterns, textures, sounds, shapes and objects from BCM’s collection to engage young learners and their families in interactive learning adventures.#

The Brooklyn Children’s Museum is located at 145 Brooklyn Ave., on the corner of St. Mark’s Ave. For more information call (718) 735-4400, or visit www.brooklynkids.org
