Family workshop for children 3-6 years old and adult caregiver(s). We recommend no more than 3 children per adult. Adult, age 18 or older, must accompany child during the workshop. Please only register children ages 3-6 years.

Little Tinkerers family workshops in the 3M Tinkering Hub invite adults and children to be innovative thinkers and problem-solvers as they work together creating, building, and trying new things. Creativity flows as you and your early learner explore tools and tinker with exciting and familiar materials. A new theme is explored on the 2nd Saturday each month.
