Hi Stacy, 
Call the Indianapolis Children's Museum.  They had a wonderful exhibit
several years ago with tractors and building equipment excavating an
enormous pile of foam rocks.

Subject: Foam rocks

Hello,

I'm an exhibit designer with AldrichPears Associates in Vancouver.  We are
currently designing a mining gallery in which there is an interactive
children's section where they can shovel rocks into carts and flumes etc.
I'm having some difficulty tracking down retailers and/or manufacturers of
foam rocks and was hoping some one in the museum world could help.

Please let me know if you have any leads.


Thanks,

Stacy Ellwein
