PURPOSEFUL, OPEN-ENDED PLAY<\/div>\n

A Place for Young Builders to Explore Their Own Ideas<\/h2>\n
\n

Creative Play is different from a teacher-guided class. Instead of completing one assigned project, children move through a variety of building and activity stations, choosing where to begin, what to explore, and how long to spend with each experience.<\/p>\n

Stations may include building with LEGO\u00ae Bricks, engineering, imaginative play, construction activities, puzzles, creative challenges, and other hands-on STEM experiences. Available activities can change, giving returning builders new opportunities to explore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
