Wonderful (as usual).
I love the idea of using these on a Smartboard where kids can play with them and everyone can see.
Some ideas: 1) For Pencil Art - Allow the kids to:
1. Modify the colors in the pencil 2. See and change the script values so they can see how changing the numbers make different designs
2) For Red Rim/Orpheum Puzzel (and any Tanagrams in general)
1. Allow the kids to rotate and flip the objects 2. Allow the kids to create their own tanagrams (this might be better at a touch screen station where kids can build and share their projects - which get posted to the Museam Lobby with appropriate credit and a picture of the kid who created it).
Really great stuff, Thanks for sharing, Stephen

Good Morning All, The link is to a set of Etoys projects for the Orpheum Children's Science Museum in Champaign,Illinois. http://etoysillinois.org/** library?tags=At%20the%**20Orpheumhttp://etoysillinois.org/library?tags=At%20the%20Orpheum
The director asked that the projects be made for very young visitors to play with independently using the smart board in the museum's lobby. Perhaps you might find a use for these projects too. I would welcome comments and suggestions if you try them with children. Regards, Kathleen
