Secrets of Circles at the Brooklyn Children's Museum Is Fascinating Interactive Fun
Submitted by Amy S. on
With its amazing installations and fun play areas, the Brooklyn Children's Museum is one of our all-time favorite New York City spots. (It's No. 20 on our list of 100 Things to Do in NYC with Kids Before They Grow Up.) So while we don't need a special reason to recommend a visit, we've got one anyway: BCM's brand-new exhibit Secrets of Circles.
Produced by the Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose and presented in three languages (English, Spanish and Vietnamese), Secrets of Circles stars a shape as simple as it is ubiquitous. What's the big deal about circles you ask? Plenty. As the interactive displays point out, circles are (ahem) all around us. It's the first shape most toddlers learn to identify, and studying circles helps kids understand basic math, science and engineering concepts.
But don't tell that to my two-and-a-half-year-old daughter! She just thought Secrets of Circles was all about fun.
