Hello all

We are in the process of developing an exhibit on preparing for = Kindergarten and are interested in finding sources for a fake =

("learning") tree for the entrance, preferrably one that kids could walk = through to gain access to the exhibit. We're looking for something = semi-realistic as opposed to a flat painted board. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I wasn't sure if you're looking to build it yourself or a commercial company to make a tree for you.?. If it's the latter, try Taylor Studios in Illinois. They're quite skilled at developing environments and made an exhibit for me in th past with realistic-looking trees.
