Playing the acorn game (not sure what happened to his other squirrel ear!) |

- Honeycomb play system
- Tape lines on the floor

- 9-7-19
- Attendance: 25
- Notes: Mostly little kids - they loved the acorn game the most, the other activities were kind of meh. Only two older kids who came at the end got into the contraptions. I think next time I'd do this as a drop-in in the children's area/storyroom.
