Little Builders @ Minnetrista Cultural Center

May 19 – August 19 

Young children become movers and shakers in Little Builders! Children ages 2 through 7 play and learn while exploring the concepts of construction, motion and simple machines. 

They can hand operate a pulley and conveyer belt to explore cause and effect, or turn the wheels of a gantry crane to transport cargo and discover mechanical physics at work. 

They can operate a child-sized crane to hook, lift and move objects and materials, or build structures with blocks, pipes, Duplo blocks, and gears, while learning about size, weight, shape, balance, gravity and stability. 

Little Builders was created and is toured by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, Portland, Oregon.
