Interactives do not have to be expensive. Seven years ago I did one to go with a Native American exhibit. It consisted of an Eastern Woodland headdress, a toy made from a bone, seeds from native domesticated plants and a few other items (everything was a reproduction). It cost about $25 to put together and the kids considered it the best part of the exhibit. Four years ago, while working for another museum, I did an exhibit on technology. A well-known computer store offered me an early Mac computer plus a computer game to contrast with a state-of-the-art computer they were lending me for the exhibit. It was a hit with kids and adults,cost me nothing, and was good advertisement for the computer store.
