It's my privilege to make you among the first to hear this announcement.  The Children's Museum, Seattle is excited to welcome TINKERTOY: Build Your Imagination to Seattle from February 13 - May 28, 2010. 

Giant TINKERTOY building pieces create a fantastic framework that helps children ages 3 - 10 understand how imaginative thinking, sharing and teamwork can create solution to real-world problems.  It's a rich education experience for children and adults to enjoy!

We have enjoyed hosting Sesame Street presents: The Body and will be it to see them leave on January 31, 2010.  (Make sure you visit us before the end of the month to play in Super Grover's Obstacle Course and stand under the Giant Sneezing Nose!)

Our members will get a first look at TINKERTOY: Build Your Imagination on the morning of February 13th as we host another Members Only opening.  Watch our website for more details about the exhibit!

It is becoming increasingly clear through research on the brain as well as in other areas of study, that childhood needs play.  Play acts as a forward feed mechanism into courageous, creative, rigorous thinking in adulthood.
