  Spring intersession is almost upon us, and that means we're gearing up for more special events here at Westside! We'll kick things off on Friday, March 7th, with custom balloon cars that are sure to have some zip to them. Looking to make a cute teddy bear wrapped in yarn? On Monday, Mach 10th, we'll be doing our special yarn teddy bears! Or perhaps something dinosaur related would also peak your curiosity, in which case our custom dinosaur fossils activity on March 13th would be the perfect event for you. Lastly, we'll wrap up intersession with slime on Friday, March 14th, that is sure to be fun. If you're interested in any of these activities, be sure to tell the front desk or give us a call!
