Coming Soon: A Brand New Exhibit The “Island Grocery Checkout”
In Island Grocery where everything is child-sized (even the grocery carts), children will be able to explore an environment that mimics the real thing. Shelves will be filled with play food products that range from lemons to ketchup to cereal. Follow the food chain.
The active process of shopping for food challenges young learners to develop and apply math skills including sorting, classifying, calculations and the use of money, as well as concepts related to health and nutrition.
Custom Built especially for The Sandbox by Science Kinetics.
Sponsorship opportunities are available.
