There is also an area with an inclined track where kids can build a kite then fly it around the room. The kids then take the kite home. We have a water table in the shape of a leaf where several kids can gather around with water toys and explore.

It's really moving to see this kind of support for the museum from the Oak Lawn community and the area.

Not only is this a real neat item, but it gives the staff a test run before we actually open to the public.

I had worked as an employee for the Boy Scouts as district director for almost six years. Working for an organization that does things for kids was very rewarding for me and I wanted to get back into doing something for children. This seemed like an amazing opportunity.
