Family Fun Workshop

For ages 3 and up, with an adult

Learn and have fun with an interactive, family-friendly, program presented by Brightside Up. Dress for a mess!

Little Blue Truck is about the adventures of Little Blue and his animal friends who work together as a team to rescue a dump truck stuck in the mud. Through a child’s play experiences they try to figure out how things work. Children will enjoy filling and dumping water, sand, and blocks--this is how they learn that objects can be used together. Children will have the opportunity to fill and dump in the sensory bin and try rugged truck painting while working as a team with their grown-up and friends!
