Welcome to our Science Lab!
Explore super absorbency polymers! Using jelly ice crystals, garbeled marbles and jumbo jelly spheres, kids will "EXPAND" their world with these amazing science experiments.

Mold & Melt Creatures!
Stretch it, tear it, snap it, pop it, knead it, bounce it! Everyone gets their own tin of Crazy Aarons Thinking Putty to mold into wild and crazy creatures, or anything you can dream up. The work of art only holds its shape for a few minutes, so think quickly and start again.

Watercolor Workshop!
Make your own Masterpiece! Imagine something that happened this summer, then create it on real artist paper with gel sticks, watercolors, and watercolor pencils. We will teach the tips and techniques, and then kids can create, sign their work and tell Mom "it's too good for the fridge"!

Summer-tastic Stained Glass!
Kids will start with a template and peel and press stickers to create a fabulous underwater scene. Already framed, the finished piece is ready to be hung in a place of honor. Fun to do, this finished work looks like summer in a frame.
