Motor Skills Play Date with Rising Titans and Lorain With Littles
Get ready to PLAY, MOVE, and GROW!
Our sister collaborative, Rising Titans, is excited to partner with Lorain with Littles for May Motor Skills Play Date
This hands-on play date is all about helping your littles build important fine & gross motor skills through fun, engaging, play-based activities, because learning happens best when kids don’t even realize they’re doing it
From movement-based play to interactive stations, this is the perfect chance for your child to explore, build confidence, and connect with others in a supportive environment.
As always, you can expect a fun-filled experience with opportunities for connection, learning, and community with other local families
Registration is OPEN!
Free snacks and raffles with special story times by Lorain Public Library System and activity tables hosted by Rising Titans collab partners:
OhioGuidestone
Lorain County Public Health
Child Care Resource Center
Lorain County Health & Dentistry
& more
We can’t wait to see you there!
This is a FREE public event best suited for littles ages 2-6 but open to all ages and abilities. Learn more at lorainwithlittles.org/events
