From cardboard boxes 📦 to entire animal habitats! 🐾🌎

Throwing it back to one of our Summer Camp projects, where campers used paint, craft materials, animals, and LOTS of imagination to build their own miniature habitats from scratch. 🎨✨

We loved seeing how different every creation turned out and all the tiny details they added along the way! 💛

Just one of the many memories made at Summer Camp at Kids Discovery Station.

What if science could reveal a secret message? 👀🧪

Today’s Little Lab Explorers experimented with turmeric to create invisible messages that magically appeared right before their eyes. Moments like these are what make learning so much fun!
