CurioTots

A cabinet of curiosities for ages 3–5: open a drawer, find a treasure — a shell, a crystal, a feather, a beetle — and sort it. Is it shiny or dull? Hard or soft? Was it ever alive? Slow and calm; on-device.

Distributed-narrative cast

Meet the cast

CurioTots's little cast each keep one drawer of the cabinet; Curie the curator loves every treasure and asks the first question of science: what do you notice about it?

C

Curie

(Guide) the curator — opens every drawer and asks what you notice (observe, then sort)

S

Sparkle

The shiny drawer — crystals and polished shells that bounce the light

S

Squish

The soft drawer — a feather, a sponge: things that squish, not rocks

S

Sprout

The was-alive drawer — a shell, a pinecone: things that came from living things
