Sunday, November 5, AM Session: Assorted LEGO Sets

LEGO bricks are all part of the LEGO system, which means that they can easily be combined in innumerable ways, and just as easily be dismantled. The more LEGO bricks you have, the more creative they can get. The combination of a structured system, logic, and unlimited creativity encourages the child to learn through play in a wholly unique LEGO fashion.


Sunday, November 5, PM Session: Crayola Color Wonder Magic Lightbrush

Crayola’s Color Wonder Magic Light Brush lets kids create colorful art without the mess. Color Wonder paints are clear and only work on Color Wonder special paper— it won’t color on skin, carpet, or furniture. The Magic Light Brush lights up to match whatever paint color kids are using. The set comes with six classic colors and 18 sheets of Color Wonder paper. Ages: 3+, $19.99 Read our full review!
