Lego Club is for kids for ages 5-15. Walk-ins are welcome, but we ask that parents stay in the build while children construct.
It’s sticky. It’s oozy. It’s disgusting. It must be…SLIME TIME! At our first ever all slime, all the time program on Tuesday, May 7th at 6 PM, we’ll be opening a page in the slime cookbook with two exciting recipes kids can mix up: unicorn slime and GACK. This program is for kids ages 5 and up, but kids under 10 will need an adult helper to assist with measuring. Dress to get slimy! If you are concerned about your child’s allergies/chemical sensitivities and slime ingredients, message us on Facebook for more details.
