Woodworking

exhibit opens at Children’s Museum of Naples

The Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples (CMON) opened its newest exhibit, Inventioneer’s Lab: Woodworking, which is open now through July.

CMON’s Inventioneer’s Lab is an empowering space for children to ignite their curiosity and innovate. Children have the fl exibility to build, experiment and learn practical skills in a safe space as they explore big ideas. The theme of the Inventioneer’s Lab is ever changing, featuring exhibits focusing on Textiles or Design. Each exhibit seeks to introduce children to materials and tools they would not typically have the opportunity to work with.

The activities in this exhibit help to fi ne-tune children’s fi ne motor skills and, through the art of woodworking, grow and develop these skills in a whole new way.

“Some of my earliest and favorite childhood memories are spending time with my father and grandfather in their woodshops,” said CMON’s

CEO Jonathan Foerster. “Inventioneer’s Lab: Woodworking gives kids and adults alike a chance to feel the satisfaction of building something with their hands and taking a project from start to fi nish. And hopefully it helps create lasting memories for all generations who experience the exhibit.”

Inventioneer’s Lab: Woodworking is an adult and child-partnered space, meaning every child who enters this exhibit must be accompanied by an adult. Through this, Woodworking is focusing on building the caregiver mentoring role. Creating this space for adult guidance ties back to CMON’s mission to provide an exciting, inspiring environment where children and their families play, learn and dream together.

The exhibit is included with daily museum admission.
