If your kid is into building stuff, Discovery Gateway has a show for you.

The Salt Lake City children's museum is opening "Tinkertoy: Build Your Imagination," a traveling exhibit inspired by the wooden-block building toy, starting Saturday and running through Jan. 6 at the Gateway shopping center.

The Cricket got a quick sneak peak of the exhibit today, and brought back a few snapshots. Click on the image above to start the slideshow.
