Imagination Stations are a series of hands-on activity stations for kids ages 2-10. They’re perfect for a variety of community events and are free to organizers and attendees. Hands-on Imagination Stations allow children to experience safe, creative, educational, and fun-filled activities, such as building with blocks and manipulating color tiles and sensory materials. These activities develop fine motor skills, imagination, social skills, increase attention spans, and more.
Designed to be durable and easy to transport, Imagination Stations are perfect for a variety of community events, such as weekend-long festivals or afternoon farmers’ markets.
Not every family can afford to visit museums, but every family deserves the opportunity to learn, explore, and play. By taking our Imagination Stations into the community for free and meeting families where they are, we are expanding our impact and providing opportunities for educational play to more families.
