ST. PAUL, Minn. - Bob the Builder™ and his can-do crew invite aspiring builders and their families help to get the job done, as the first-ever hands-on Bob the Builder™-Project: Build It traveling museum exhibit comes to Minnesota Children's Museum Jan. 13 - April 22, 2007. It replicates elements from Bob the Builder's world in Sunflower Valley, inviting exploration, inspiring teamwork and bringing environmentally friendly building themes to life for children and families.

The Children's Museum of Indianapolis created the exhibit, which is presented by Delta Faucet, locally sponsored by Pulte Homes, Star Tribune and inspired by HIT Entertainment's top rated television series, Bob the Builder - Project: Build It.

• Meet the Can-Do Crew - Construct an afternoon of activity - build memories and snap photos with a life-sized, three-dimensional Bob the Builder and Benny, the specialist digger.
• Bob's Mobile Home - See Bob the Builder's blueprint for success as children explore their favorite builder's mobile home. Children can be part of the crew and help fix the drip coming from Bob the Builder's sink or watch video clips from the popular series.
• Build the Machine Shelter - Be part of the team, laying stones in the walls of the machine team's shelter and building stalls for Roley, Scoop, Benny, Muck and Scrambler to sleep.
• Drive a Machine - Let's Scram! Climb aboard the off-road vehicle Scrambler, rock and roll with Roley the Steamroller and dig up fun with Scoop the Digger!
• Talkie Talkie - This problem-solving crew has a lot to say and each member has a special phrase. View a picture of each team member and push a button to hear their famous catch phrases, "No prob, Bob" or "Let's rock and roll!"
• Wendy's Caravan - Wendy needs some help from the team to refurbish and decorate her caravan and plant beautiful flowers.
• Water Pump - Farmer Pickles isn't the only one in Sunflower Valley that knows that water conservation is important. Children can explore the interactive water pump station, learn important messages about water conservation and help to bring water to Sunflower Valley.
