M – March 24: Arvada Library

It’s a game week! We’re going to start this week at McIlvoy Park in old town Arvada, where we’ll play outside.

M – March 17: Golden Library

Monica has reserved the meeting room at Golden Library (1019 10th St, Golden, CO 80401) from 11:30am-4pm.

M – March 10: Ralston Central Park

Meet us at Ralston Central Park in Arvada (5850 Garrison St, Arvada, CO 80002) from 11am-2pm. Two playgrounds here + a ton of open space, plus the Ralston Creek + the Ralston Creek trail, which connects to other parks + play spaces within a half mile.

M – December 9: Engineering + Lego

It’s LEGO day! We’re going to set up a few, timed challenges – tallest tower, sturdiest bridge, longest build, etc – and get started working with bricks that way. From there, we can add a more specific challenge, if people are interested, or else it devolves into a building free for all. Let’s see whether we can’t build a whole town over the course of the day.

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 – November 11: Vintage Kitchen Science

We’re cooking quirky recipes from generations past. Today’s dish: Tomato Soup Cupcakes, made with canned tomato soup. Yum…. Let’s also do blind tastings behind a veil of absolute secrecy!
