Jill, I just procured metal sheet from either hardware stores or from vendors such as silversmith suppliers. All you need is a small square 2 - 2!/2" each is fine. You'll need to make sure that all of the edges are filed or ground smooth especially for hands-on activity. Your exhibits staff can do this or even maintence staff. The cost should be minimal, probably under $35. Cheers!
