Totspot Exhibit


The Tot*Spot exhibit is the place to bring children ages birth to 36 months. The eye-catching bubble machine is a first stop, but not the last as tots crawl, cruise or walk throughout the exhibit, which has four distinct areas.  These areas promote exploration, discovery, experimentation and wonder.

About TotSpot:


Mirrors are used in several of the defined spaces to add to the child’s learning whether they are on their tummies gazing at themselves in the mirror in a padded area as they play or dancing with scarves in the amphitheater. The Ball and Pillow Pit is a spot for children and their parents to explore the realm of physical knowledge by rolling, kicking and tossing a variety of balls.

Walking up carefully sized steps and over rippling bumps keeps many a toddler spell-bound on the Meandering Path. Parents walk along side playing peek-a-boo or conversing with their child as he travels the well-worn path learning to maneuver around other tots.

With knobs, switches and door bells to push and turn throughout the exhibit, tots have the opportunity to experience cause and effect their actions.  Quickly finding the car room, toddlers can climb in for a pretend ride, steer the wheel and toot the horn! 

To continue the learning at home, CMH provides great take-home activities and parenting resources are available at CMH’s Parent Resource Library.
