Collections policies for Children's Museums
We are in the process of developing a collections policy for our museum. Our collection is small and mostly consists of rocks, minerals, shells, animal bones, and old instruments. We don't currently have a documentation system in place, but we want to create one so we know what items are in possession, where they came from, and what our future employees can do with them if they are no longer needed.

Blue Blocks
Hi again friends! We have been entertaining the idea to purchase blue blocks for a while but the cleaning of them is a little daunting. Can you let us know if you use blue blocks, do you love them, do your visitors love them, how are you cleaning them, after cleaning are they looking clean or still quite worn? How often have your replaced them, if you have? Are you using them inside or outside?
Thanks a million!
