Play isn't just fun. It's how children learn, connect and build the skills that shape their futures.

Thursday, June 11 is World Play Day – a global initiative from the LEGO Foundation in partnership with UNICEF. We're celebrating with extra playful experiences rooted in engineering and construction, plus Boxopolis: a community design project where every child's creation becomes part of a cardboard city that keeps on growing.

Because there's no better way to start summer than with your hands on something you built yourself. 🏗️ See you Thursday!

🌈 It’s alive!!! (Well, not really – but it sure looks like it!)

Baking soda + vinegar + a splash of color = the most satisfying fizz you’ll ever see. 🫧

Here’s what’s actually happening: Baking soda is a base and vinegar is an acid – and when they meet, they react! They produce carbon dioxide gas, which is the same gas you breathe out. That gas is what creates all those amazing bubbles and makes the mixture foam and overflow.

The food coloring doesn’t change the science at all – it just makes it way more fun to watch 🎨

Come explore more reactions, experiments and hands-on fun at Discovery Place Kids, where every day is a science day! 🔬

We’re going microscopic to learn how germs spread, what they do to our bodies and – most importantly – how to stop them! Then kids will get to create their very own germ supervillain character.

It’s gross. It’s fascinating. It might just inspire your little hero to wash their hands without being asked 😉

🍎 Health literacy
