Toddler Tinker Time
Tuesdays at 10:30am (during morning play session, 9am-Noon)
Join us for a weekly program that emphasizes the importance of tinkering! Tinkering helps little ones develop fine motor skills, increases problem solving abilities, and is an open invitation to foster peer relationships!
What is tinkering? Tinkering can range from taking something apart and putting it back together to make an open-ended sculpture, to playing with "loose parts" and special science tools. We have different activities every week and some old favorites will pop up again and again.
STEAM programs are sponsored by Granite State Development Corporation, Breezeline, Eversource, Sprague, and Novocure.
