Ooey Gooey Fun | 3-5 years

Slime, Play-Doh®, and “clean mud” are just a few of the soft, squishy concoctions we will be making and playing with in this hands-on class. The children will help follow a recipe to create gooey mixtures out of everyday, household ingredients. Math and science concepts will be incorporated as we count and measure ingredients and watch one form of matter transform into another. Please wear clothes that can get messy.

Father’s Day Craft Class | 3-6 years

Do you want to surprise dad with some great gifts for Father’s Day? Join us during this one-time class to make some keepsake presents that dad is sure to love. When we finish our gifts, we will wrap them with handsome paper and create a one-of-a-kind card for your #1 dad!

Fourth of July Cookies ‘n Crafts | 3-6 years

Join us for a class to celebrate America’s birthday! We will start our time together making some great red, white and blue crafts to make your house ready for the holiday. After crafting, we will be decorating some cookies using patriotic colors! We will wrap up our evening enjoying our cookies while we listen to Fourth of July stories.
