M – October 27: Halloween Party

Halloween-themed games + activities will be happening throughout our day together! Please wear your costumes + plan to play! The group text thread has all of the games + prizes that Tasha, Tuesday + Tyrion have planned, so please bring whatever you signed up for – it's not all listed below.

M – October 20: DIY Costume + Props

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.

FIELD TRIP: Oct 13 – Butterfly Pavilion @ 11a

Monday, October 13 @ 11 am – At Butterfly Pavilion, we transform the way people think about invertebrates. These small but mighty animals that surround us are so much more than people think. They are everywhere, because everything depends on them. They are the hidden heroes of the animal kingdom, and we–you and us–stand on the backs of these tiny giants.

M – October 6: Pasta + Noodles

It's National Noodle Day + we're here for it! If you have a family noodle recipe you'd like to share, especially one where you shape the dough into something besides long strips, please bring it! Otherwise, we'll take turns prepping this easy pasta recipe + using either rolling pins or a pasta machine to make noodles. You can literally shape your pasta into anything you'd like + then we'll cook it in small batches.

M – September 29: TikTok Theater

Activity: It's a weird mix of Theater (improv, playwriting, acting) + TikTok Dances – Please bring theater props to share – any old costume parts/wigs/weird shoes/clothing + makeup are welcome. We will set up an easy warm-up like "Bus Stop" for improv first thing, then move into writing/creating a play together, breaking into groups based on theme/content. We can also do performances today, if we're quick, or keep working on it for perform another week. If there's a TikTok dance you'd love us to learn together, let's do that as well!

M – September 22: Outdoor Jamboree

Outdoor Jamboree – Please bring anything your kiddo(s) like to use on pavement. The plan is to close off the top parking lot with a line of cars + make obstacle courses out of our giant space. We also have gymnastics equipment to share (Thanks, Erin!) + I will bring sidewalk chalk. The kids can use 3-wheels, scooters, skateboards, bikes – whatever they like. If you can fit it into your car, you can bring it!
