Open play time
Thursday 3:30-5:00 p.m.
Decompress after a long day at school and visit the children’s activity room where you can find various toys, puzzles and
games or if you feel inspired to do something more creative, we have plenty of art/craft supplies, crayons and playdough.
Or bring something of your own to work with if you wish. This time may occasionally be utilized for a pop-up craft activity
(TBD). All ages welcome unless otherwise stated. Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult.
Story Hour to Go- craft & activity bag
Always available. New themes launch every two weeks unless otherwise stated.
The current Fall Gnome craft will run an extra week in order to get back on our original rotation. The next one launches
October 7th and will rotate every 2 weeks moving forward.
These take-home craft/activity bags are designed by Ms. Nicole and aim to offer something for everyone no matter the
age or ability and can be crafted to suit your own artistic vision. The sample craft is there to offer guidance but children
are encouraged to put their own spin on it. Basic supplies such as child friendly scissors, markers, glue are needed along
with occasional supervision depending upon the craft. Everything else is included! We always welcome taking back any
unused activity booklets or paper bags to be reused. Share or tag your finished craft photos with us on our social media
