Join us on Saturday, December 18 @ 5 o'clock PM for an evening hike up South Table Mountain to howl at the Full Cold Moon. Families, friends, neighbors – everyone's invited.

IH – December 22: Indoor Camping + S’mores
It's our last week in our rented space! We're celebrating the end of the year with some indoor camping, doesn't everyone? Holidays parties are for the birds. Let's pretend it's summer and toast some marshmallows over a propane fire. I'll bring a tent for play, the propane fire pit* and some s'mores ingredients – but …

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 …
IH – December 8: Goat-Milk Extravaganza
We're making soap today, using Jamie, Autumn + River's goat milk! This is where the delayed event went! Jamie says we need extra soap molds, if you have one to bring, or you can make them too. I have some rose, calendula and white yarrow to share. If you have flower petals, food coloring, honey …
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 …
IH – December 1: Pajama + Pie Day!
We're going for COZY today, so wear pajamas! Don't tell the kids yet, but I'm trying to borrow a projector so we can watch a movie on the pull-down screen in the corner. Maybe bring blankets + pillows – comfy stuff for stretching out on the floor. We can watch something seasonal, like Elf, after …
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 …

AR – November 15: Performances + Perlers
This week, we're doing mini performances, 5-minute plays – we'll use concessions, hair/makeup, a director, music, lights, whatever parts your kids want to play. I thought maybe we could follow a folk tale, like Little Red Riding Hood or a Grimm fairy tale, if everyone wants some guidance. I'm also happy to let them make something …
