Recs for water-resistant smocks for indoor water play?
Hello all,
Looking for recommendations for water play smocks/aprons. We have used and ordered the "Colorations Brawny Tough Machine Washable Smock" from Discount School Supply in the past, but DSS and other vendors seem to be out of stock of both individual and bulk options, so I fear they are discontinued. Amazon has singles available for now ( https://www.amazon.com/Colorations-TDPS-Machine-Washable-Sleeveless/dp/B01I0E3X4M ) but I'd like a plan B.

Adhesive for grocery store toys
Hello all!
I recently visited a few children's museums in Arizona and noticed that in their grocery store exhibits they used actually bottles and cans. What adhesive do you all use for things like this? I noticed that the adhesive appeared to be almost silicone based?
So far what we've used has worked ok but we want to put items out that may have things in it and don't want to worry about them spilling items all over the place.
Thanks so much!!

New Museum Floors
Hello everyone,
We are looking into getting new flooring for our museum. We currently have Laminate and Vinyl Tile Flooring and are not happy with their look, durability and ability to be kept clean.
I would love to hear what kind of flooring you all have and any pros and cons about them.
We are thinking about tiling the floors. I'd also love to hear feedback from anybody having tiles at their museum!
Best,
Celine
