Imaginative Play

Use your imagination and creativity to take your play to new heights. Express yourself in many ways, while making choices and sharing with others.

Step onto the stage and transform into your favorite neighbor. Costumes of series characters and examples of neighborhood helpers, like a policeman and doctor, will aid in dramatic play. Hand-held face masks of the characters can complete the outfit. Once ready, take a step in front of the “Imagination Mirror” and see the moment sparkle.

 

Choose a vehicle, like a police car or trolley, to complete your costume and test drive your new vehicle on the iconic neighborhood path. Or take Trolley for a walk to one of the Neighborhood places.

 

Express yourself through sound using various one-of-a-kind musical instruments. Be creative and compose your own song, or play along with others.

 

Sort, deliver, and receive letters and packages from your friends in the Neighborhood.

 

Communication & Emotions

Dealing with feelings can be challenging no matter what your age. These components pay special attention to how we communicate with one another and share our own feelings. Explore meaningful topics like diversity, empathy, self-regulation, and gratitude, empowering visitors to better understand their feelings and the feelings of their neighbors.

Meet Daniel and all of his friends at the Neighborhood school. This mural helps visitors to understand an important life lesson:

🎵In some ways we are different, in so many ways, we are the same.🎶

 

Take the time to thank someone who has done something special for you. Write or draw a thank-you note and share it on the Thank You Tree.

 

Select a block and place it in the radio to hear Daniel sing a strategy song from the series. How do the pictures on the block relate to the strategy song you hear?

 

Making

Visit the Clock Factory where you can play with all different kinds of clocks. Work alone or together and be delighted when you make the clock begin to tick.

 

Make your own clock using numbers, gears and clock hands. Can your clock match the clocks on the wall?
