About this Event
✨ Light and Dark: A STEM Workshop for Children Ages 3–6 ✨
Step into a world of glow and wonder! In this workshop, children will explore the magic of light and shadow through hands-on, sensory play. Using a light table, glowing sensory bins, flashlights, and reflective materials, little scientists will experiment, discover, and create in a space designed to spark curiosity.
This play-based experience blends creativity, science, and sensory exploration:
🎨 Creative Expression – Children use light, reflection, and a variety of materials to create patterns, silhouettes, and shapes, inspiring imagination and storytelling.
🔦 STEM in Action – Exploring how light moves, bounces, and changes introduces early concepts of physics and observation.
💬 Social & Emotional Growth – Working together in shared spaces builds cooperation, patience, and communication skills.
✋ Fine Motor Skill Building – Handling tools, flashlights, and small materials supports dexterity and hand-eye coordination.
👀 Sensory Exploration – Bright, glowing materials and shifting shadows engage the senses and encourage calm, focused play.

Further information: Our workshops are held in English, including read-alouds and songs. We are happy to provide German language support when needed. We will provide all craft and sensory materials as well as a caring and nurturing environment for safe and supported learning. We suggest you feed your child a small snack before the session, or have one available for afterwards. We will be providing coffee and tea for caregivers to enjoy while their children learn. If your child is comfortable with you doing so, caregivers may leave the event space, but we kindly ask you check-in with us first. In case your child is struggling to join or having big feelings, we ask you to stay nearby. Otherwise, we invite adults in attendance to stay, sit back, relax, and meet other parents. There is a toilet available for patrons but no changing table.
