Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
I've been doing some looking into water play areas, and in a presentation at
last year's ACM conference, came across this tidbit from the San Jose
Children's Discovery Museum (home of a slammin' water play area - I am WAY
too amused that they have a component named "the ball-cano"):
"Water Play is one of the most open-ended and appropriate play [types] for
children (along with clay and sand play)"
I've seen many water play areas, and I've seen many individual exhibit
components that use sand... but I don't recall ever seeing a "sand play"
area comparable to a water play one. Anyone know of any?
