Hi,

We recently moved our Kids Corner (for kids 5 yrs and younger) from our
main museum floor to a larger area that had housed our Education
Offices.  We are looking for different ideas to enhance the room.  One
of our ideas was to build a water table to do different activities.
Does anyone have a water table at their museum?  Did you purchase the
table or have it custom built?
What problems have you encountered with the general public and their use
of the table?  Currently the room is not staffed full time by museum
employee or volunteers.  Did you find that this was necessary?  What
type of flooring around the table works best?

Thanks for your help!!!
