Since 1913, The Children's Museum of Boston has created exhibits to help children understand and enjoy the world in which they live. Packed with activities, supplies, videos, photos, models and artifacts from the Museum's teaching collection, Kits are multimedia, interdisciplinary teaching units. You can rent them by the week to foster cooperative, participatory learning and motivate a wide range of students.
Age ranges for Kits are wide.
They depend on the abilities of the students and the needs of the teacher. With most of the kits, you can easily adapt the materials for a particular classroom level. Students from pre-school to the tenth grade have used them in the past. The Kits Rental Department is glad to help you select the right Kit for your class. We recommend a standard two-three week rental period based on typical elementary classroom use.
