The Poppet Project Mission
Their missionĀ "children are encouraged to blend different mediums outside of limiting constraints in order to express and explore their creativity. By incorporating the hands on approach and the blending of arts, crafts and science we hope to see the new generation of artists, designers and tinkerers borrow and inspire from each other forming new and original ways to express themselves."
Our Experience
Our experiencewas truly wonderful. I normally getĀ a little nervous around so much paint and freedom since Annemarie is only 18 months old, but the staff wasĀ beyond delightful. They wereĀ always there to reassure myĀ little one's creativity and wouldĀ pick up right after we wouldĀ leave a station, keeping everything tidyĀ and organized for the next creative mind.Ā
Stations
They have a slime stationwhich they do every 15 minutes. I sat with Annemarie and my nieces and watch as they mixed all the ingredients and made their special slime. The girls were able to pick what type of slime and what color/glitter they wanted.
Another sectionĀ was the wall painting station and magnet wall station. These two wereĀ Annemarie'sĀ favorite and don't worry because she got paint all over and it wasĀ extremely easy to wash off.Ā
The last station Annemarie enjoyed with her cousin Maia, was the one pictured below. They played for what seemed like forever in this area. They thought it was the most hilarious thing moving the little balls with the red instrument.Ā
Ā There are other stations like the
tinkering area, molding sand station and an arts and craft station where they can make whatever they like. They have a wall full of paper, makers, etc. I really enjoyed seeing my little one explore and create. I can't wait to take her back and see what we'll do next.Ā
