Who this list is for

This list is for 10-year-olds designing an interactive-looking museum exhibit station with a pretend audio guide. It works for a favorite history or science topic and does not require working electronics.

How to use this list

Start with the small cardboard box and thick cardboard sheet to create the exhibit base and front panel. Choose printable exhibit photos, then mount them on white and black cardstock. Use number stickers and round color stickers to create a clear viewing order. Set the old child-safe headphones at the station as a visual prop, then write exhibit facts on blank index cards with fine-tip black pens. Colored pencils can add drawings or labels before everything is attached with glue sticks and clear tape.

Do not assume the old child-safe headphones will work; they are part of an interactive-looking display, not an electronic audio system. Keep fact cards short enough to read at the station. Avoid covering exhibit photos with thick tape, and decide the numbered order before applying number stickers.

What is on this list

The materials include a small cardboard box, one thick cardboard sheet, white cardstock, black cardstock, and eight printable exhibit photos. There are round color stickers, old child-safe headphones, 12 blank index cards, number stickers, black pens, colored pencils, glue sticks, and clear tape. Cross off items already available.

When you are done

Read the cards in order as if visiting the station. Check that the photos and headphones stay secure without hiding the facts. Keep the exhibit flat or upright on a shelf, away from moisture and crushed paper edges.
