Objects For Pondering

To inspire your curiosity, the boxes are labeled to reflect the contents. All these boxes benefit from conversation. So if you’re with someone, try “checking out” a box together.

After checking out a box, you will be directed to a spot where you can open the box and see what is waiting inside. When finished handling, looking and pondering, you are welcome to come back to check out another box – and another and another! If you wish, please ask for an interactive booklet to fill in as you explore and enjoy.

Here are a few ideas to think about as you examine the objects:
· What surprises you?
· How are the objects alike? How are they different from each other?
· Name the objects.
· What materials are they made of and where do you think they come from?
· What comes into your head – do any of the objects remind you of something else?
· Could or would you rename this box?
