Today we’re working on our Halloween costumes – anything that involves sewing, cardboard prep-making, mask +/or costume design. Please bring extra fabric, cardboard, + any sewing machines/materials/needles you’re willing to share. If the kids want to work on play costumes, that’s fair game as well.

M – September 8: The First One
Triorama Dream Rooms can be anything they want – it’s a single room on a piece of paper, drawn/decorated as they like, then folded into a 3-dimensional space. They can also build cardboard/paper furniture for this as well.
M – April 28: Woodbury Branch Library
We have reserved the basement meeting room rental at Woodbury Branch Library (3265 Federal Blvd. 80211) from 11am-3pm. This library has a giant park/playground/basketball court on the same lot, so bring whatever your family needs to be comfortable playing inside and out.
M – December 2: Cookies + an Obstacle Course
Let’s start the day by setting up an obstacle course. We’ll clear a wide area for physical play + let the kids put this together. If you have any soft, gymnastic-style materials that we can use for this, please bring them. We’re especially looking for pads, floor beams, things to jump over or go around, etc.
M – November 18: Sew Free
We’re sewing + dyeing fabric with vegetable peels. I’ll bring some fabric scraps + my sewing box, but we’ll need more contributions of fabric, felt, thread, + needles.
M – October 28: Wizard Craft!
We’re going to start the day by eating donuts off of a string, a longstanding tradition! Please bring donuts to cover your people (one per person). It’s fun, funny + a great way to work for your breakfast – adults are encouraged to participate! We’ll set up at the little park directly across the street down the pathway and off to the right (west). We’ll have to size everyone in real time (holding a string up to their face, real fancy-like), so plan on walking across the street right away.
M – October 21: Day of Apples + Fairy Tales
Let’s celebrate National Apple Day by cutting up apples to eat together by lunchtime – or whenever your people are bored + hungry. Please bring an apple or two to cover your family. If your kids want to add caramel or cinnamon, please bring it. We’ll slice apples + leave them to share.
M – October 14: Build-a-Business Day
This morning, Erin + Tiffany will introduce the idea of famous/catchy slogans/logos + show some examples. We’ll then set up stations to let everyone create their own slogan, mission statement, and logo. We will provide some business ideas for anyone that doesn’t want to create their own or let the kids pick their business.
M – October 7: Wild Art + (Cup)cake Walk
It’s also baking time! Those who are interested can help to bake several sets of cupcakes today. We do have loads of small bakers, so we’ll probably need to bake in parent- or teen-lead groups. I’ll bring the other ingredients (oil + eggs), cupcake trays + liners.
M – September 30: 3D + Hands-On Art
We’re going to make 3D sculptures + do the shaping part today. There’s an option today to try a new technique with spray foam to quickly shape a structure, then let it dry. People can also “carve” into their foam shape to continue refining it.
