Through January 7, 2024

Explore Wobbleland, an interactive collection of giant soft-sculpture fruits and vegetables that offers creative discoveries for toddlers and young children, and will visually delight all ages.

Each sculpture invites its young audience to explore challenges such as stacking, spinning, sorting and rocking.  Toddlers use play to understand the world around them and develop important skills as they interact with each food sculpture.

The fruit and vegetables in Wobbleland are inspired by the idea of common, healthy foods, already cut for toddlers to eat.

Wobbleleand was developed as an art installation by artist Marisol Rendón in collaboration with The New Children’s Museum. The original themed exhibit, Feast: The Art of Playing With Your Food, opened at The New Children’s Museum in October 2013.
