fun for STL kids

The Grinch is trying to steal Christmas! Help grow the Grinch's heart by joining in on this workshop full of Grinch activities. Kids will make Grinch dust to help stop the Grinch from coming to their homes and other crafts, as well as Grinch cookies. 

 

 

Kids ages 5-12 can choose their own Elf name and join in on the Elf Workshop. They'll create handmade gifts for someone special (different variations of crafts are offered for different age groups). 

 

 

Meet the animals at Suson Park and learn about their care at the Suson Farm Park Barn Tours.

Bring your little ghosts and goblins to the Lil' Trick or Treaters Halloween adventure. Costumes are encouraged, so come dressed up for a fun Halloween storytime, festive crafts, and special Halloween treats. This not-so-scary Halloween party is for ages 2-5.

 

Bring your little ones, 0-18 months, to Baby Bookworms Storytime to enjoy songs, stories and more.
