This year, Halloween fell on the weekend... It was wonderful seeing the community stop by the Lab for goodie bags and books on Halloween! It was great seeing young scientists we hadn't seen in a long time, and we enjoyed meeting new friends. Over 100 books found new homes that afternoon (and the fog machine was greatly enjoyed)!

It began with a simple request early on during the NYC lockdown. We needed books for the children in our community. The Brooklyn Book Bodega immediately responded to our request by dropping off the first 750 books to the Lab. Since then, we've distributed books bundles, hosted book shopping times, community book swaps (and even a food drive!), and now there's a Little Free Library fully stocked for the readers in our community and available 24-7. This has all been possible thanks to the generous, ongoing support of the Brooklyn Book Bodega. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, June 3rd from 10am to 12pm for the Summer Reading Book Swap! We have board books, early readers, chapter books, picture books, young adult novels, and more! You can also donate your gently used children's books. This event is made possible thanks to the generous, ongoing support of the Brooklyn Book Bodega. You can support their mission with a tax deductible donation.  What an amazing morning! Our local community continues to show love and support in BIG ways! Over the course of two hours, over one thousand books found new homes, 50+ hand sanitizers were distributed, and a collection of nonperishables was gathered to benefit Brooklyn Relief Kitchen. Big THANK YOU to Jessica, the Lefferts Gardens Montessori School community, the Brooklyn Book Bodega, Zach & Ivy, and the PLG community! Together we make big things possible! Thanks to the ongoing generosity of the Brooklyn Book Bodega, and donations from the local community, we invite you to refresh your child's library with new and like-new books from the Kiddie Science Lab Book Giveaway! We have board books, picture books, early readers, chapter books, popular titles, graphic novels, young adult books, holiday-themed books, hardcovers, and more! Bring a bag, wear a mask, and support our mission with a tax deductible donation to Kiddie Science via Paypal or Venmo (KiddieScience@gmail.com or @KiddieScience)  During our recent Sip 'n Science workshop, we explored color and used science to create beautiful and unique works of art. We used an array of materials, and learned how a simple hydrophobic ingredient can help create something amazing. We got messy, socialized over light snack and wine, and enjoyed the wonders of science. Thank you for joining us and stay tuned for more adult programming coming to the Lab! Cheers to science! |
