Children Just Like Me

Based on DK Publishing's award-winning book by the same title, Children Just Like Me™ showcases the unique diversity of the world's children while also exploring the common bonds they share. Eleven vignettes take young visitors around the world to meet their peers on six continents. Self-paced, hands-on activities in each vignette strengthen cross-cultural connections through a variety of learning styles. Compelling life-size cut-outs of each child stand alongside authentic three-dimensional representations of their homes and surroundings. Discover each child's language, food, games, music, pets, clothing and more through multi-sensory interactives in each area.
