Pages & Play
NEW! Stories introduce toddlers to new words, ideas, characters and experiences while helping build the foundation for a lifelong love of reading. That’s the idea behind Pages & Play, a new class on Thursdays where a great children’s book is just the beginning. We might create something, play a game, move like the characters, pretend…

Picasso & Emberley Mash Up
Our Author/Illustrator and Artist of the Month are teaming up for a Halloween mash-up! Ed Emberley taught us that you can make amazing pictures by combining simple shapes. Pablo Picasso showed us that faces don’t have to look the way we expect—they can be rearranged, turned around and seen from all different angles. Put those…

Handy Ghosts
We’re moving beyond fingerprints and putting the whole hand to work! Kids will make a blobby little ghost, then trace and cut out their hands to create its arms. It’s a simple Halloween craft, and a pretty sweet keepsake, too. Because someday, those little hands won’t be quite so little. Awww!

Ed Emberley Spiders
For this creepy-crawly craft on Tuesday, kids will make their own spider and learn a little science along the way. A spider’s body is made up of two main parts: the cephalothorax (say that three times fast!) and the abdomen. Then come the eight legs! Keep your spider flat, or bend and glue those legs…

Tuesday Studio
Ed Emberley Handprint Dinosaurs - Channel your inner Ed Emberley (our Author/Illustrator of the Month) in the Studio and turn not just fingers into one seriously prehistoric masterpiece, but your entire hand! Create a Stegosaurus with a spiky spine because apparently, when it comes to dinosaurs, one little print just isn’t dino-mite enough.

Smiling T-Rex
Does your dino have a killer bite? It’s time for a little prehistoric dental checkup on Tuesday. Decide whether this T-Rex has a dazzling set of sharp white chompers, or if he has been sneaking way too many sugary snacks!

Exploring Music
Kickstart your day with a joyful tune in Kerry's music class! Toddlers learn about rhythms and beats through active movement and enthusiastic singing.

Ed Emberley dinosaurs
Inspired by the playful art of our Artist of the Month Ed Emberley, kids can use basic shapes to build their own prehistoric beasts. Start with a familiar favorite—T. rex, Stegosaurus, Triceratops—or let your imagination run completely wild. Known species are welcome. Completely made-up species are encouraged.

Animal World Experience
It’s Dino Week… so naturally, we asked Matt from Animal World Experience to bring a T-Rex. He politely declined. Something about “too big,” “too dangerous,” and “have you seen the size of that door?” Instead, he will likely be bringing some of the modern-day cousins of our prehistoric pals on Thursday. They may not have…

Hatching Dinosaurs
Something is stirring inside that egg… Color your baby dinosaur any way you like, then cover it up with an egg and let it wait patiently for the big moment. When you decide the time is right, gently scrape the center and carefully pull back the outer shell to reveal the hatchling hiding underneath!

Dinosaur Skeletons
We’ve got a dinosaur skeleton to put together—but there’s one small problem: the bones are all mixed up! With an assortment of bones in different shapes and sizes, kids will have to figure out which pieces go where and build their very own dino skeleton. Think of it as a prehistoric puzzle, with a little…
