What is our most important organ for finding out about 

 the world around us? — our eyes! Discover how hu- 

 mans see using color, line, pattern, shape, and form. 

 Find out how many different kinds of animals see and 

 make your own color spectrum with giant bubbles. 



Please Touch! 



Saturday, Sept. 13, 1:00-3:00 pm 

 Stanley Field Hall 



How often have you longed to touch the skin of an ele- 

 phant or feel the petal of an orchid? Elegant Indian 

 beadwork takes on a whole new meaning when you 

 have the opportunity to explore the object with your 

 hands. Spend some time going around the Museum 

 and visiting some of our touchable objects. Then using 

 sandpaper, velvet, styrofoam, and other interesting tex- 

 tured materials, create your own tactile object that feels 

 as good as it looks. 



Now You Hear It, Now You Don't 



Saturday, Sept. 20, 2:00 pm 

 Stanley Field Hall 



"Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers ..." En- 

 joy children's tongue twisters, riddles, and limericks; 

 find out about melody, timbre, and rhythm. Make 

 your own rhythm blocks, chimes, or shekere. 



The Nose Knows 



September 27, 1:00-3:00 pm 



Explore the world at the tip of your nose. Smell 

 your way through a display of fragrant plants. Play 

 a "smelly" game using only your sense of smell to 

 identify hidden objects. Discover why some animals 

 have such unusual noses and make a distinctive ani- 

 mal nose to wear home. 



Enjoy the silent and imaginative art form of miming 

 — communication through body movements and fa- 

 cial expressions. Through your sense of sight explore 

 all the senses with "Mr. Blank," one of the characters 

 you will meet through mime Steven Ivcich. Learn to 

 create the mime illusions of "the wall," "leaning on a 

 fence," and "pulling a rope." 



Steven Ivcich is presented through Young Audi- 

 ences of Chicago.
