Toying Around

With my 10-year-old heading to middle school, I am well aware that his days of playing with toys are limited. To prolong this time of wonderment and innocence as long as possible, Toying Around is all about play

This week, we will explore the history and science of toy making and make a few toys ourselves. We will also go on 2 field trips. The first to the Mini Design Studio where Jackson will have a 3d figurine created of himself as an action figure. We will also visit Babyland General Hospital where Ansley will learn about how Cabbage Patch Dolls are made and adopt one, herself.

To ensure both my 5 and 10-year old enjoy Toying Around, plans for the week include a wide age range of activities, including:

• Designing and printing toys on our own 3d printer
• Taking apart existing electronic toys to understand how they work
• Making Gummy Legos
• Building wooden motorized vehicles.
• Having a Teddy Bear Picnic.

As always, you are welcome to join us. The supply list and schedule are listed below.
