Village Realty Gives Helping Hand to "Outer Banks Children @ Play Museum"

Located in Kitty Hawk directly along the bypass (3809 N. Croatan Hwy) at milepost 4.5, the Outer Banks Children @ Play Museum is a place where small children (primarily ages 1-6) can learn about local landmarks by playing in a make-believe, hands-on, creative and safe indoor environment. 

The museum hosts donated 'exhibits' that feature many of the Outer Banks area things to do, such as a wooden playhouse with the Hatteras Lighthouse attributes, a fishing boat with magnetic poles and fish in a make-believe Albemarle Sound, an airplane with a view of the Wright Memorial, a fish cleaning station with pretend tools and an 'outdoor' market for imaginative children to sell local produce or sea shells.

An ideal place to bring the little ones on a rainy day to play and learn about the Outer Banks.  The museum provides activities for parents to interact with their children, such as making jellyfish out of cups and recycled paper as well as detailed descriptions of each exhibit.  Drama and Science workshops are also incorporated in the weekly calendar. 

Alyssa Hannon, Executive Director explains the concept of the "Outer Banks Children @ Play Museum" is based on similar successful concepts throughout North Carolina that offer education through play.  Village Realty is just one of many local sponsors who offer a helping hand by donating funds.
