Worth a visit, but storytime not geared for toddlers
Billings Productions, Inc.的点评
点评:We took our 2 grandsons (ages 3 & 4) for storyhour & a tour. The facility was very clean and nicely laid out. My only complaint was that the books that they read were both about insects (no dinosaurs??) and they were too advanced for their audience of toddlers. I did notice that they sell age appropriate stories in their gift shop that would be short and simple for this age group, but the ones they read didn't hold the children's attention - which is hard to do with toddlers anyway. Maybe even read one with a dinosaur or bug puppet...these work wonders in keeping little ones attention.
After the storytime, we were lead into the warehouse where all the large dinosaurs and bugs are stored. They were great! I only wish they had given us more of a "tour" with information about their company, the building of these animatronics, the people who work there, who they make them for, etc. I think the adults would have found this very interesting and possibly inspire some of these little ones for future careers. They basically just let us roam on our own, take photos, etc, but didn't give us any information- disapointing.
Afterwards, we did a few crafts, but nobody at the tables to help the children or encourage them - basically color sheets, cut and glue projects, which was fine, but our 2 toddlers weren't very interested.
We visited the nicely stocked gift shop which had great assortment of books, toys, etc. The employees there were all very nice, I could see so much more potential for a memorable day for our little ones.
翻译:我们带着我们的两个孙子(3 岁和 4 岁)参加了故事时间和游览。设施非常干净,布局很好。我唯一的抱怨是他们读的书都是关于昆虫的(没有恐龙??),而且对于他们的幼儿观众来说太高级了。我确实注意到他们在礼品店出售适合这个年龄段的简短故事,但他们读的故事并没有吸引孩子们的注意力——这对幼儿来说很难做到。也许甚至可以读一个有恐龙或虫子木偶的故事……这些在吸引小孩子的注意力方面非常有效。
讲完故事后,我们被带到了仓库,那里存放着所有大型恐龙和虫子。他们很棒!我只希望他们能给我们更多的“参观”,介绍他们的公司、这些电子动画的建造、在那里工作的人、他们为谁制作它们等。我认为成年人会觉得这非常有趣,并可能激励这些小家伙未来的职业生涯。他们基本上只是让我们自己闲逛、拍照等,但没有给我们任何信息——真令人失望。
之后,我们做了一些手工艺品,但桌子上没有人帮助孩子们或鼓励他们——基本上是彩色纸张、剪切和粘贴项目,这很好,但我们的两个小孩不太感兴趣。
我们参观了库存丰富的礼品店,里面有各种各样的书籍、玩具等。那里的员工都非常好,我看到了更多可能,让我们的孩子们度过难忘的一天。
