The Adventures of MR. POTATO HEAD
Exhibit Overview
The Adventures of MR. POTATO HEAD, an exciting new hands-on exhibit developed in collaboration with PLAYSKOOL, will premiere at the Betty Brinn Children’s Museum in the summer of 2008 and will then embark on a national tour.
The exhibit features MR. POTATO HEAD, the much-loved silly character, who becomes an astronaut, explorer, scientist, and undersea adventurer with a change of his “parts.” MR. POTATO HEAD’s knack for wacky escapades and familiar personality will engage children in adventures that are friendly, yet exotic, while the comic appeal of the character will charm adults and encourage them to play along. The MR. POTATO HEAD character will lead the way on amazing adventures into outer space, on a jungle safari, on an archaeological dig, and under the sea.
In addition to building a variety of essential academic skills, the exhibit encourages children to welcome new experiences with confidence, curiosity and humor, to think about all they can be and do, and to always respect themselves and others.
Target Audience: Educational activities are designed for children ages 3 – 8
Space Requirements: 2,500 square feet of exhibit space is required
