Bob the Builder™ and his Can-Do Crew invite aspiring builders and their families to help get the job done, as the first-ever hands-on Bob the Builder–Project: Build It traveling museum exhibit comes to Miami Children’s Museum, Saturday, June 4th and will run through mid-September. This 2,000 square-foot multimedia exhibit is sponsored nationally by Indianapolis-based Delta Faucet Company and inspired by HIT Entertainment’s top rated television series, Bob the Builder. It will replicate elements from Bob the Builder’s world, inviting exploration, inspiring teamwork and bringing environmentally friendly building themes to life for children and families. Presenting Sponsors for the MCM dates are MAT (Miami Access Tunnel) and Bouygues Civil Works Florida, Inc. Miami Children’s Museum is located at 980 MacArthur Causeway on Watson Island.
The Bob the Builder – Project: Build It traveling museum exhibit will visit 30 major markets in North America through 2011, reaching more than 2 million children and families.
Bob the Builder – Project: Build It exhibit will invite families to spend time in Sunflower Valley with Bob the Builder, Wendy and the rest of the Can-Do Crew. Children can practice their own fixing with kid-smart activities that build up their can-do attitudes and encourage them to be an active part of Bob the Builder – Project: Build It. Families can also work together to install new parts to sinks in Bob the Builder’s mobile home and in his building workshop, and learn about water conservation, courtesy of exhibit presenter Delta Faucet Company. Children and their families can help Bob build the vehicle shelter and experiment with tools in Bob’s building workshop.
“Miami Children’s Museum is excited to have Bob the Builder’s first traveling exhibit, offering children a learning experience that encourages Bob the Builder’s signature can-do attitude, problem solving skills and teamwork,” said Debbie Spiegelman, CEO of the Children’s Museum.
“This is a great opportunity to reach the community with important messages about conservation, as well as what goes into building and maintaining a home,” said Keith Allman, president of Delta Faucet Company. “Bob the Builder is a great partner for the Delta brand because he embodies the combination of a can-do attitude and concern for the environment that our company was built upon. As the national exhibit sponsor, it is gratifying to help educate young visitors on these topics.”
“It is thrilling to have Bob the Builder – Project: Build It brought to life at organizations around the world that are dedicated to providing young children with high-quality, hands-on, educational events,” said E.J. Minor, Vice President, Marketing, HIT Entertainment.
