Big Blue Blocks

Drop into the Children’s Room and create with Big Blue Blocks! 

The Big Blue Blocks set from Imagination Playground contains a wide variety of loose parts, including bricks and cylinders, accented with chutes, channels and parts that suggest motion or connectivity

These modular, rectilinear parts are easy to stack, line up and move around. Children enjoy an endless variety of play patterns including construction, pretend play, role-playing and inventing their own games. Most importantly, they are deeply engaged, active and have hours of fun.

Crepe Paper Flowers

Come learn how to make realistic flowers using crepe paper! Known for its crinkled, textured surface, crepe paper is made through a process that involves stretching and chemically treating the paper fibers, which gives it its distinctive elasticity and texture.

This month we will be making Hibiscus

This program is suitable for ages 10 to Adult.
