Join the Peoria PlayHouse in the Real Tools Workshop at the Bonnie Noble Center for an “out of this world” maker event! We will be using donated and recycled materials and our imaginations to create Mars “rovers” capable of traveling down steep terrain.
During Maker Workshops, 8-18 year olds explore materials and master new tools in order to create one-of-a-kind projects. Advanced registration is required. Cost: $12 per child for non-member families; $8 per child for PlayHouse member families.
How far can you chuck a mini pumpkin? Join the Peoria PlayHouse in the Makerspace at the Noble Center for an afternoon of fun as we work to create mini pumpkin launch devices using recycled materials, imagination, and problem-solving skills!

This program focuses on parents and their babies, from birth to 12 months, giving them a place to gather and enjoy casual conversation with fellow parents while their little ones play. Guest speakers from partner organizations will lead discussions and activities related to infant growth, and development. The goal of this program is to support YOU as parents, and we invite you to both join and tell us how this program and community groups can best help you!
Free of charge for parent and infant (under one year of age.) May not be combined with additional admissions.
Brought to you by Family Connects in partnership with Peoria PlayHouse Children’s Museum.
