* a child-sized village - maybe a grocery store where they can purchase groceries, a post office, a restaurant, a school, etc. Our local children's museum has this and is always well-used.

* smaller spaces where younger kids can go if they need a break from the larger scene. Perhaps you could set them up in the context of listening/reading stations where children can curl up, put on headphones and listen to or read a book or music.

Sounds like a fun project. Let us know what happens.
For the first three items that sounds good for our Birthday party menu. The shop idea I will note and see how we are for space.

I definitely have thought about books and audio visual stuff as we are going to be multi cultural / language we will probably go with more audio books ( can get a lot of that on a hard drive ) and cartoon / Teletubby / Barney / Sesame Street type video. Tom and Jerry are BIG in China !!!
