We are delighted to offer the Toddler Construction Playgroup again this winter. Designed to accommodate the expansive curiosity and attention span of toddlers, Construction Playgroup offers toddlers the space and materials to explore the many facets of building and unbuilding. ConstructionKids offers an alternative to the plastic toy culture; we use real tools and materials scaled to their small hands: sandpaper and a soft block of pine wood, a big bolt and nut, a small hammer and styrofoam. All of these give children the tactile experience of motion, weight, and texture.

Our workshop is comprised of two large open sunny loft-style rooms with a thick rubber floor. So there's lots of space to move around, and children are free to explore, touch, and play with a variety of fun, workshop-specific objects including a playhouse, kid-built go-carts, musical instruments, building blocks, cars, and ramps. We also offer a planned activity each week, such as learning how to hammer, how to use a vise and a simple hand saw (with assistance), moving material with pulleys and rollers, and exploring the wide variety of wood that we use. And for children who really want to dress the part of a Builder, we have a full compliment of child-sized reflective safety vests, protective earmuffs, and safety glasses.

Toddler Construction Playgroup is a great experience for all small kids, a space to explore their tactile, sensory, and fine-motor skills in a safe environment with expert guidance from the ConstructionKids staff. All children must be accompanied by a caregiver.
