Bob the Builder

Saturday, Oct 17, 2009 through Sunday, Jan 03, 2010

About the Exhibit
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 exhibit comes to the Gulf Coast Exploreum. 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 – Project: Build It. 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.

During the exhibit, families can 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 the team. Families can also work together to install new parts to sinks in Bob the Builder’s mobile home and learn about water conservation in the process. Children and their families can help Bob build the vehicle shelter and experiment with tools in Bob’s building workshop.

Construction Themed Birthday Parties
For a limited time, parents can celebrate their child’s birthday with a Heritage Homes Construction Party. Themes will be available for both boys and girls, and individuals should call 251.208.6879 to check for available dates.
