This February at Play Lab, embark on a space-themed adventure and let your child's curiosity blossom! Families are invited to explore together in a setting that encourages little astronauts to chart their own course. Our space setting encourages little astronauts to chart their own course, whether it's through building alien landscapes, experimenting with 'moon rocks', or creating star maps. Your child can lead the way through this universe of exploration, steering their journey through the stars and learning in their own unique way. Join us for a month where the sky is just the beginning of what we can discover together!

Week 3 (Fizzy Science): For the last Play Lab this month, we'll introduce fizzy science experiments. Watch as children mix and marvel at the colorful, bubbling reactions that bring the mysteries of space science to life.
