An idea to try outside
Your tabletop museum
Three ordinary objects can make an extraordinary exhibition. Give them new titles and look from another side.
Step by step
- Choose three objects with an adult. Clear some table space for the exhibition.
- Look at the first object from above and from the side without climbing onto the table. Does it look different when you turn it?
- Invent a title and write or draw it on a folded paper label.
- Prepare the other objects. Leave room to see them separately and together.
- Take a tour of the museum. Explain your titles to visitors or imagine a visit. Afterwards, put the objects back.
What if we tried something else?
Change the order of the objects. Invent a name for the whole collection and see if it changes when you turn them.
A note for the adult with you
Choose large, light objects with no sharp edges or small parts. Avoid glass, batteries, magnets and anything breakable.
