Now through January 15Balance isn’t just an act. From teetering toddlers to tightrope walkers, balance is something we all use in our everyday lives. Children and their families can expand their understanding of balance – and learn how to practice and improve it – in Balancing Act, a children’s traveling exhibit.The interactive exhibit focuses on the physical nature of balance and the body systems that work together to achieve that balance. Through a variety of challenge activities, such as balance beams, bridges and balance boards, you can get into the act and test your sense of balance in a fun, playful environment.Guiding you through Balancing Act is “Level,” a sculptural balancing buddy made from cubes and boxes. This level-headed character demonstrates how prevalent balance is in our everyday lives and how the body and brain work together to help us maintain that balance.As you enter Balancing Act, you may first be drawn to the Balance Bridge. Try to keep from rocking as you navigate down the center of the bridge. The more guests on the bridge at one time, the more movement you’ll experience! Then test your skills on a “teeter totter” in the Balance Board Challenge. You’ll learn how our body systems work together to enable skateboarders,

surfers and others to maintain and master balance.The exhibit’s Balance Circus station shows how our body systems work together to achieve balance. Here you’ll find props to balance on various parts of your body: balancing birds, juggling blocks, bean bags and balancing egg heads. Very young guests also have an opportunity to balance on the Infant Barre.Other components, such as the Balance Beam, Stepping Stones and Wavy Beam, challenge you to adjust your body and control your center of gravity as you navigate the various obstacle courses.Demonstrating balance-related concepts is just one goal of the 1,200-square-foot exhibit. Balancing Act also aims to reinforce the idea that balance can be practiced and improved. Find out how long you can stay balanced on the swiveling and shifting Balance Timer. Try it more than once and see if you can improve your time with practice. Experiment with balancing different objects on the Balance Scale. See how high you can stack blocks on a shifting table top before it topples over on the Tippy Table. Then take some tops for a spin in Spinning Tops and discover the secrets behind twirling ballerinas and rotating ice skaters.Balancing Act was created by the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. The exhibit is presented in English and Spanish.

The Perfect Place

It was an enchanting evening of royal splendor in the Kingdom of CMOM at the f irst annual Children’s Ball. Surrounded by music and laughter, princes and princesses dined, danced and created special memories with Cinderella and Prince Charming.Guests were formally announced and given tiaras and top hats as they entered the ballroom. The Peabody Ducks had everyone on their feet lining both sides of the red carpet as they made their grand entrance. Strolling violinist Hannah Simmons entertained guests while they dined and Magic Mr. Nick delighted each and every child with his mystical feats. Dancing, face painting, crafts and a candy shoppe all combined to make the evening memorable. The Children’s Ball concluded for our royal guests with a lighted Cinderella carriage ride and sweet dreams of a fairy tale that came to life for one magical night.
