This morning, we’ll start with a game of Red Rover, then dive into today’s theme. We’ve got some seasoned LARPers + cosplay kids. We’ll see if we can find the edges between these two things + navigate an overlap? A merger? Wear/bring a costume + let’s set a scene together!

M – April 17: Dissection Day
Quick science experiment check-in when we arrive. If your kids did a milk plastic toy or want to see how the peeps dissolved, take a peek in the kitchen! Circle at 10:30am with Monica, just after our opening game/activity, to introduce the day’s theme + schedule. We’re practicing this opening for our group every week, …
M – November 7: Cardboard Neighborhood
It’s that time again! Jennifer + Monica are organizing the pickup of bicycle boxes for the kids to use. Each kid will have one large box, plus whatever else you bring, to create a structure for the town. Bicycle boxes are a thicker material and difficult to cut into small pieces, so other cardboard is …
M – October 31: Halloween Smells + Yells

M – October 24: Sweet Science
Sugary experiment week! The experiments are broken up by family, so we can take turns being in charge. Your kids can also lead, if they’d like. I added a link to each experiment for a quick reference point, but you don’t need to stick to that. We’ll go through the list in this order:(1) mentos …

Camping Trip Pictures: August 28-30
What a beautiful campground + the BEST kind of fall weather! We will definitely do this again, at the request of every child + adult who participated, and perhaps for longer. We all agreed we wished there were 2-3 more days to the trip. We had a blast and came home a little sad the …
AR – December 13: Holiday Party!
It’s our last week, so let’s celebrate together! We’re going to craft it up with allllll of the holiday crafts. Becky’s got some egg crate crafts (or this one, or this one…), and Alison found some beautiful stars to fold from paper bags – so bring any paper bags and paper egg crates and join …
AR – December 6: LEGO Robotics + Sports
Interesting combo, no? You can’t see me, but I am winking. This week we’re exploring LEGO robotics, using Jessica’s kits* – just so we’re not all mixing up our bricks. These STEM kits work by pairing LEGO’s robotics app with a battery-loaded motor. We’ll use the app to code each contraption to move. Kids can …
AR – November 29: Felting + Perlers
We’re supposed to play snow games today, but the weather isn’t feeling it. If snow happens, let’s bring cold-weather gear to play in it. Otherwise… On to Needle Felting! If you have wool roving, wool yarn, fabric and/or “stabbies” to share, please bring them so we have enough for everyone. (Need inspiration? Try here, here, and …
