JULY POP-UP PLAY EVENT | Summer Sparkle: July 18th and 19th
Kids love to CREATE AND PLAY! We are excited to provide a creative, sensory-packed event. Our July event will be all about messy process art and sensory play. Everyone loved this event last year, and we cannot wait to create and have a blast! Your little will LOVE it. As always, YOUR favorite part will be that you will have all the fun but the MESS stays with us.
Our events are chock-full of sensory play, sensory walks, pretend play, and more! Follow us on Facebook (Purpose Play) and Instagram (@PurposePlayKC) to get updates about station plans as they are released. Our sessions fill up, so make sure to grab your tickets early, especially if you have a preferred session time.
WHAT TO EXPECT: Each month's play session includes a variety of sensory stations that you and your child can enjoy at your own pace. We also usually include a special "break out" station (like a sensory walk or art project). Trust us...your child will LOVE this event!
Our play can be messy at times (thank goodness!), so please dress your little in play clothes. Our events are geared towards 5 and under. Older kids have lots of fun at our events as well. Please plan to monitor your child(ren) at all times. Our play does involve many small pieces, so please use caution if your child is in the "I put everything in my mouth" stage. We always want to make sure everyone stays safe! For more Q&A, check out our FAQs.
LOCATION: Our pop-up play events take place at the Johnson County Fairgrounds in Gardner, Kansas. (136 E. Washington, Gardner, KS). We are located in the "Open Class Exhibits" Building near the corner of Elm and Washington. We are just north of a large church and near the playground. Some Navigation Apps take you to a middle school close to the event instead of the event, so pease leave a few extra minutes to find your way! We have good directions on our Location Page. (See Location Page for Details)
PRICE: If you have 3/4+ children, check out our $25 Family Discount that covers the whole family (immediate family ONLY, please!). We offer this price for the 11:30 AM and the 6:00 PM sessions only.
Tickets are non-refundable. If you cannot make it to your session, please feel free to share (or sell) your ticket with a friend.
We hope to see you there. We are SO EXCITED TO PLAY!
