 July Theme: Under the Sea: Get ready to dive deep into discovery with an Under the Sea month, a journey through the seas and the fascinating life within. Throughout the month we will explore a different aspect of the sea, from the creatures that crawl along the ocean floor to the mysteries of the deep sea. 
 Featured Special Program | Every Day in Create
Ocean-Inspired Stained Glass Community Mural: All month long, our I CAN Create space will transform into a colorful journey through the five layers of the ocean! Guests are invited to help bring a glowing stained glass ocean mural to life by adding tissue paper, sea creatures, and their own creative touches to our windows. Dive in, explore the depths, and create an ocean animal to find its perfect home beneath the waves! 
Under the Sea Fun All Month Long: 

Deep Dive into the Ocean Layers: Sunlight, twilight, midnight, trench and abyss, oh my! We are going to explore the deep ocean and look at each layer of the ocean! You can learn about each layer of the ocean by sorting ocean animals into the layer they belong! 
Under the Sea Tangrams: Everyone loves to build! Put your creative thinking skills to the test as you use tangram pieces to create different sea animals. Can you make a fish, crab, or sea turtle? Dive in and see what shapes you can discover! 
Kinetic Sandcastles: We are bringing the beach indoors this week! Join us as we make sandcastles inside and make seashell impressions to learn about different seashells and the animals that may have lived in them.   

Under the Sea Storytime | 11:00 a.m. & 3:00 p.m.
Join us for Storytime as we ready some of our favorites from under the sea!
