It's just the beginning....

I love the way these kids are exploring new materials for the first time. This group has so many conflicting ideas and many leaders to be.

We've got 4 more weeks together to build a working mini golf course... Stay tuned!

-Quote of the day

I love seeing your kids stick to this activity. They try it and then begin to explore it. Some kids stay for hours learning about how to control distance, trajectory, and angle.

When was the last time you turned your house into a string laser maze??

In this adventure, any time someone touches a string they will get sprayed with water... So tread carefully!

We made paper flowers!

Grab some paper, scissors, glue sticks, real outside sticks and imagination. Experiment! Try not to worry about how things are supposed to look... just have fun! You'll be surprised at the joy that emerges when you allow yourself and your kids to explore.

[PopUpPlay @PopUpPlayPhilly]

Be like our bee friend and go outside today! Maybe you can find a flower or two to explore.

Can you see the pollen on the bee's legs?

Happy Earth Day!

Play is changing all the time! If you can't see and feel it in your own children's play then check out these tennis rackets circa early 1970s...

Confidently define your own play culture.
