Goppert Creative Corner

A glass-walled room where children of all ages can use brushes or their fingers and hands to paint directly onto glass walls as they blend colors, make designs and draw pictures that can also be seen from outside. The Paint Room leaves an open palette for your creativity.

At the Sand Spinner young ones can sculpt designs over large slowly-spinning disks covered in sand. Three spinning disk stations are set at various speeds allowing children to draw patterns in the sand by using handheld props, or simply their fingers. Over the rotating Sand Spinner, a young sand sculptor can produce a variety of cool shapes, including circles, spirals, stars and cardiods.

The Sand Light Tables take a familiar play experience in sand and reimagines it in the added dimension of light. Children can sculpt and comb sand made colorful by a raised back-lit platform. This unique combination changes how children choose to interact with the sand, creating layered patterns across the surface and exploring the interplay between sand and light.

Two program areas will flex to offer an engaging, sensory-rich experience for early learners and their caregivers, as well as art activities for older children. Both staff led and self-directed activities will be offered in this space, providing learning opportunities to use tools, explore materials and think creatively. The activities will be fresh, engaging and fun!
