WEEBLES Coast to Coast

Exhibit Overview Rental Information Traveling Exhibit Schedule WEEBLES Activities by State

Exhibit Overview

Travel with everyone’s favorite wobbling characters in WEEBLES Coast to Coast, a new educational traveling exhibit developed in collaboration with PLAYSKOOL®. Pretend tourist destinations representing each of the fifty states invite visitors to discover America through activities that highlight geography, history, music and movement. So get ready to catch a wave in California, perform on Broadway, ride a burro at the Grand Canyon, camp on the Appalachian Trail, pedal-power a steamboat down the mighty Mississippi or hit a home run at Fenway Park – you can even build the St. Louis Arch!

The adventure begins in your own backyard. A giant tree house and a themed reading area (A Book Can Take You Anywhere!) inspire children to learn about the United States…and beyond! Hands-on activities throughout the exhibit help build important academic skills as they introduce children to geographic and historical landmarks, favorite American pastimes and key state facts. Samples of music from around the nation offer opportunities to sing, dance, rhyme and perform, and physical activities help emphasize the importance of a healthy lifestyle. The exhibit’s maps and panoramic murals of the American landscape help orient visitors as they explore the US regions.

Target Audience: : Standards-based educational activities are designed for children ages 2 to 10; the fun is designed for everyone!

Space Requirements: The exhibit requires 2,500 sq. ft. of space.
