Also, near the section on infants there's a "dress a doll" table that has instructions on how to dress the baby from diaper to bonnet. We also have a dress-up section with repro clothing, and an imaginative play area near a display with a corncob doll, etc. It all seems to be working well - the kids love it, and they can touch stuff that's similar to the actual museum objects.
