Make a Mandala Kaleidocycle!

What's a kaleidocycle?  Good question!  A kaleidocycle is a flexible fidget toy that can be continually turned inside-out, with each rotation showing a new pattern!  We'll be coloring mandala patterns on ours and then assembling them, with the help of our awesome teen volunteers!

Drop by beginning at 4:00.  We'll clean up together at 5:15!

For kids in kindergarten and up.

Princess Academy

The main idea of the Princess Academy series is centered around Miri, a young girl from a mining village, who is unexpectedly selected to attend a princess academy to prepare for the possibility of marrying the prince. The series explores themes of friendship, loyalty, family, and the importance of education, while also subverting traditional fairy tale tropes. Miri's journey is one of self-discovery, where she must balance her loyalty to her mountain home with the allure of royal life.
