Bye Bye Wizard of Oz! & Sneak Peak of Our New Display


Thank you Dorothy, Hunk (scarecrow), Zeke (lion), Hickory(tin man) and emerald castle. You guys were a beautiful display and great fun making, but it's time to bid farewell. We will surely miss you guys and kids(especially!) will miss you dearly as they always had fun taking you apart! But don’t worry we will have new eye pleasing display up soon and here is a sneak peak of what's coming!


Can you guess what our theme is? By the way, those circles…. We’ve been slaying away hours cutting them! It was very labor intensive but listening to all the Disney sing-along songs kept us entertaining.

Froebel's Gabe


Perhaps the world's most intricately conceived playthings invented by Frederick Froebel (Creator of Kindergarten), these materials appear deceptively simple, but represent a sophisticated approach to child development. Children explore mathematical and scientific concepts through direct manipulation of physical objects. As children build and experiment with blocks they develop richer ways of thinking about mathematical concepts such as number, size, and shape.

Benefits of Gabe:

-Establish spatial relationships and proceed to sensory and language training.

-Enhance creativity, cognitive thinking, social skills and teamwork.

-See remarkable qualities and innovative ideas that make each child unique when they have the opportunity to explore and create according to Froebel's method.

-Students learn by using their senses and through physical activities; they use inanimate objects to create art and learn through play

-Frank Lloyd Wright, a world famous American architect, credited his boyhood experiences with Froebel's Gabe as the foundation of his architecture
