Ink Interactive Neighborhood
Sheri Hooper created INK in 2002 after noticing a gap in the local community for educational options for young families. She launched the idea as a bible study with other mothers in her basement, and it grew into a children's museum off the square in downtown Gainesville and then later on the Featherbone Communiversity
INK (Interactive Neighborhood for Kids) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in beautiful Gainesville, area. They charge admission but rely on community donations for support. This also means that any donations made are tax deductible.
Their objective is to inspire children of all ages to reach their greatest potential by engaging them in engaging hands-on learning experiences. INK aspires to offer a unique setting in which children of all ages, skills, and experiences can imagine, create, and explore beyond their dreams through the displays of the Museum.
Kids are living in a grownup environment where play is considered a recreational activity. However, as parents, we must keep in mind that children learn via play. Children learn to cooperate, solve problems, improve language abilities, and boost self-esteem and social and emotional development through imaginative play. By imagining and doing, young toddlers learn via hands-on experiences.
Children can do amazing things when given the chance and that is why ink was created. The Interactive Neighborhood for Kids is unlike any other children's museum. It was built by educators to align with Georgia's public school curriculum. Kids, on the other hand, would never know. ink is a unique, fun-for-the-whole-family attraction. Children may role play and learn via practical activities at the hands-on Children's Museum, which is intended toward visitors ages 2 to 12. GrandPappy Airlines, a dentist office, a bank, Medical Clinic, Beauty Salon, Post Office, Pottery Studio, Fire Truck, a Train and Train Set, Vet Clinic, Music Room, and a grocery shop are among the 20 exhibits designed to create a unique experience and actively engage young minds.
The potting room is popular with families since children can build a clay masterpiece for a few dollars. Children like crafting and decorating mugs, bowls, and figures in this very hands-on activity.
INK features a different themed project for kids every week. Seasons and holidays are generally associated with these. When you visit, check their activities calendar to see what craft they are doing.
The Interactive Neighborhood for Kids is relocating from Gainesville to Oakwood soon, where it will be housed in a structure nearly double the size of its current home. The new INK building would be 50,000 square feet, about double the size of the current one. The current INK museum will remain open until the relocation is finished.
The new building will be located at the corner of Main Street and McClure Drive in Oakwood, GA but for now their location is:
