Play Cafe loves bringing families together! Today was our field trip to the Maple Hill park for Picnic in the Park. While our stuffies picnicked on yummy plastic food, the rest of us were treated to chicken fingers for the kids and grilled chicken salads for the grown ups. Special thanks to Miss Drita, The Flaming Grill, and the rest of their team for their generous donation. It was SO good!!! Be sure to check out this new restaurant and tell them Play Cafe sent you🤗

October is nearly here. We would love it if you put Play Cafe on your family calendar!
We have had so much interest in our Pumpkin Play Day we needed another sponsor. Special thanks to The Palmer and Amy Guerich for their generosity!!

We cooked with blocks, painted with blocks, traced blocks, built with playdough and blocks, and SO much more! It was a magical morning at Play Cafe!

The Magic of Block Play

👍Increases your child’s attention span

Children will typically play with blocks longer than other toys because they are creating something particular with a vision in mind, thus pushing the limits of their concentration.

👍Teaches problem -solving

Just about anything your child constructs will require some level of planning, creating, and working out the mechanics.
