Tuesday


Baking with Kelsey!

Calling all junior bakers! Do you have a Children’s House child who would love to explore healthy baked treats? Have them join Kelsey for an after school club Tuesday afternoons during the month of November! They will talk about ingredients, measuring, and the different tools used for baking.

Baking naturally creates larger quantities so each child will receive a small box of treats to take home to eat and share with their families as well each week. Depending on the treat each week, some will be sent home the next day in order to have enough time to cool before packing them up!

Terrariums for Beginners!

Elementary Students are invited to recreate the beauty of our natural world in a mini ecosystem - a self-sustaining garden that requires very little care.

In this club, we will make miniature forests and gardens in  repurposed glass containers.  Use your imagination to add moss, natural stones, shells, driftwood or a touch of whimsy like fairies, mushrooms and small animals.

Materials and snack provided.
