What are you doing this weekend?

I am going to be handing out DNA safety kits this Saturday for the Peoria Playhouse Event. There will be activities for the little ones like games, prizes face painting and balloon sculptures.

From the Peoria Playhouse website: There's something for everyone, ages birth through age 12. Kids will love to experiment, play and learn with different activity stations all developed around water, inspired by one of the future galleries in The Peoria PlayHouse named, "By Your River Gently Flowing, Illinois." And the child in all of us will love taking a Spotted Cow ice cream break (make sure to bring along a few dollars. One hundred percent of the Spotted Cow proceeds will be generously donated to The Peoria PlayHouse). There will be raffle items, helium balloons, face painting and more!

What is the Peoria Playhouse?

The Peoria PlayHouse will prepare every young child to learn by offering the hands-on experiences essential for healthy brain development. It will feature interactive exhibits and programs that strengthen families and complement formal education. These positive experiences will instill in our children a lifelong love of learning, and encourage an appreciation of museums as they mature.

If you get a chance, the event is from 10am-1pm at Talbots, across from the Metro Center on University Avenue in Peoria. I hope to see you there!
