We think slime is sensational! Once you’ve mixed up a batch of our fabulous fluffy slime then tried your hand at our special Bubblegum-scented silly putty slime, we’re sure you’ll think slime is sensational too! Sorry, grown-ups; this class is for KIDS ONLY!!! Please pack a nut free snack and drink for your child.

Ready to start babysitting? The Child and Babysitting Safety (CABS) program from the American Safety and Health Institute provides everything you need to know for safe and successful babysitting. The YouTube “vlogger” style presentation of the video brings a youthful and high-energy spirit to the program content, and the colorful magazine format of the student book makes learning fun. From getting started with your business, to working with parents and children, to key safety, caregiving, and first aid tips, CABS will help set you up for babysitting success. Students must be present for the entire class and complete achievement of the core learning objectives to receive certification valid for two years. Students attend this class independently and should come prepared with a notebook and pen. Please bring a snack. If you are attending the afternoon Home Alone class as well, you may bring a lunch and eat with instructor supervision between classes.

People prepare for winter in many ways, and wild animals do, too! We will use a lesson from the MN Department of Natural Resources Young Naturalists to explore how Minnesota wildlife change their bodies and behavior to thrive in the cold, snowy months. Come prepared to learn, have fun, and be in awe of the animals around us!
