Parents in St. Louis Park, if you're wracking your brains for ways to keep your kids entertained during the MEA break, you might want to pay attention to this nugget of news. The Kidcreate Studio is offering a slew of art classes for a variety of ages at key local venues, and the programs promise to both engage your children and perhaps give you a much-needed breather.
According to a recent posting on the City of St. Louis Park's Facebook page, these creative sessions span from science experiments that cross into the messy realm to seasonal festivities that are perfect for toddlers to tweens. The classes are scheduled for mid-October and include 'The Messiest Science Experiments Ever' for kids aged 5 to 12 and a delightful 'Boo Bash' for the little ones from 18 months to 6 years old.
For those in search of a spooky twist, 'Ghostly Slime Time' appears to be an ideal blend of Halloween-themed fun and hands-on artsy experience for kids aged 4 to 9. It's not every day that educational activities promise to be this amusing – or gooey, for that matter. It's happening at the St. Louis Park Rec Center, ROC, and Aquatic Park, so mark your calendars for October 18 if this tickles your fancy.
'The Messiest Science Experiments Ever' class will be held on October 16 and 17, from 9 a.m. to noon. If you've ever wanted your kids to explore the wilder side of science without turning your own home into a disaster zone, this might be the perfect opportunity. Meanwhile, the 'Boo Bash’ offers a festively frightful hour of activities on October 18 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., just in time for Halloween preparations. Then, after a short break for a presumed lunch, the 'Ghostly Slime Time' starts at 1 p.m. and stretches until 4 p.m.
It's seldom that we see such a variety of activities packed into a short window, tailored for a range of ages and interests. Plus, the notion that your kids could be gaining some educational value while they're at it? Well, that's just the icing on the proverbial cake – or in this case, the slime on the pumpkin. Interested parents should consider registering soon, as these classes are bound to fill up faster than a witch’s cauldron on a busy potion-brewing day.
