POCATELLO — A few cans could buy your family an entire morning of discovery this weekend.

My World Discovery Museum will celebrate the grand opening of its Glean Mini Market exhibit at 10 a.m. Saturday, offering free admission to anyone who brings canned food donations.

The mini market, created through a partnership between the museum and Glean Coffee Roasters, will let children pretend to make drinks and cookies with hands-on components. All canned food collected will go to the local Idaho Foodbank, and Glean will offer 15 percent off all drinks at both the new location and its mainstay at Dude’s Public Market on South Main Street.

”This is an exciting partnership,” said Samantha Stoddard, executive director of the Glean World Foundation. “It adds value to the My World Discovery Museum. Our objective is to add as much value through serving children and families. Glean is making that possible.”

The museum, located at 711 S. Second Ave., also recently opened another exhibit called Tree Top Tales, created in collaboration with United Way of Southeastern Idaho and the Portneuf District Public Library.

Melody Daniels, executive director of My World Discovery Museum, said Tree Top Tales began as a reading nook designed to make children feel as though they’re sitting in a tree while reading books.

The exhibit includes animal puppets and prompts so children can act out stories and discuss books with their families.

”It gives them a way to connect with their families,” Daniels said. “There are a lot of prompts in there starting conversations with children about books.”

The Glean Mini Market will allow children to experience activities they see at Glean and other businesses, with seasonal changes to keep the exhibit fresh.

”They get to have components to assemble it,” Daniels said. “The kids are having hands-on experience. There’s a lot of cooperative learning there.”

Daniels said she looks forward to bringing Glean’s welcoming, cozy atmosphere to the museum.

Both exhibits were built by museum staff and community members.

”There’s so much talent in this town,” Daniels said. “When they come together, that is amazing.”

Stoddard said the partnership aligns with Glean’s focus on raising money to donate back to the community and the museum’s commitment to providing education to children.
