There's a new exhibit at the Discovery Cube OC. Even though my kids may have outgrown Dora and Diego, the Dora and Diego - Let's Explore! exhibit was fun to explore. Plant flowers in Isa’s Flowery Garden, help Tico gather nuts at Tico's Tree and Car, uncover pirate treasure at Piggies' Pirate Ship, help baby animals in the Animal Rescue Center, line up the stars at Constellation, and help Dora and her friends pilot the Rocket Ship. Like the television series, the exhibit is designed to help children use eight different abilities proposed by Dr. Howard Gardner at Harvard University (verbal/linguistic, logical/mathematical, music/auditory, visual/spatial, bodily/kinesthetic, naturalistic, and interpersonal (social and self).
Family Guides
Be sure to grab one of these Family Guides upon entering the exhibit! It is nicely illustrated to help families get the most out of the exhibit as well as exploring at home. What I like about the exhibit is that they have interactive components throughout the exhibit encouraging parents to be a part of the experience. For example, in Isa’s Flowery Garden, I saw a sign that said, "Grownups, help your child say it in English and Spanish," and "Grownups, C'mon and play! Slide a puppet through the fence."
Piggies' Pirate Ship:
In the Pirate Ship, children can look through the telescope to spot the treasure chest, raise and lower the flag, dress like a pirate, and learn how to divvy up the coins into the Piggies' banks.
Rocket Ship:
Aboard the Rocket Ship to go back to the Purple Planet. Children can put on a spacesuit, pilot the ship, and test their memory to help Dora and Boots. On the way to the Purple Planet, Dora and Boots encounter interesting star groupings at Constellation. On the Purple Planet, children can climb inside and slide down to exit.
Tico’s Tree and Car:
Tico is headed to a family picnic and needs help filling up his basket and car with nuts.
Isa’s Flowery Garden:
In the garden, Dora’s friend, Isa the Iguana, children can pick flowers and learn how to care for flowers, plants, and animals.
Diego's Animal Rescue Center:
At the rescue center, children can learn how to care for rainforest animals (they are stuffed) by using the scanner beds, diagnosing the situation, cleaning the animals, and applying First Aid.
Rainforest Maze:
Explore a rainforest to locate the animals while children can climb across Jaguar Mountain, swing across Bobo Brother's monkey bars, and crawl through a fallen tree.
The new Dora and Diego exhibit not only encourages play and exploration, but also movement and exercise. It's a great way to get the children to explore the world around them, and, as mentioned, the Family Guide has additional information to keep the learning going (even at home) so don't forget to pick one up! There's always a lot to see and do at the Discovery Cube, and here is one more new way to enjoy the Cube, but it's only here until May 2016. Readers, I have a wonderful opportunity.
