The only limit is your imagination! Dig into a huge bin of locally-made YOXO parts and see what you can create! Connect tubes, X, Y, and O connectors to create a animals, cars, rocket ships, flowers, or, of course, a giant robot. Pick the parts you need and start building!Love your creation? You can buy it and take it home! Bulk YOXO parts will be for sale by weight.
Plus, meet the inventor! YOXO creator Jeff Freeland-Nelson (just back from SXSW Edu Conference) will be on hand with lots of ideas. And we'll be taking pictures that you can share with friends. This is a free event in the Peapods Community Room for all kids (and grownups) ages 3 and up. All we ask is that participants be accompanied by an adult.
