    The exhibit promotes nature-play through a sculptural, interactive design that incorporates nostalgic settings, such as a tree house and a fort-building area. The imaginative environment is designed to inspire children and their caregivers to learn to explore nature by using their senses. More than simply seeing the beauty of a tree, the exhibit encourages visitors to hear the sounds of the forest, use leaves to make beautiful art, and build big and little structures from bark and limbs. The individual components, Whirlwind, Light Play, Forest Jam and Gnome Home, further enhance the magical scenery and are tools to enhance exploration. Activities encourage children to experiment with light and shadow, patterns of leaves, music of the forest, and the effects of the changing seasons. The areas also provide practice with the physical skills of climbing and balancing, which helps children to develop self confidence in outdoor play. The exhibit was created by Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose.
