2012 is starting off great...

We have welcomed many new changes with the 2012 New Year! Check out the new PLAYFORT in our Children's Museum!


 The playfort includes multiple levels for safe playing, a slide, climbing wall, and an interchangeable beam to allow for rope swings, monkey bars, and other cool swingset accessories. 


The playfort has been a great addition to our already amazing play space!

   Imagination Station...
 Our imagination station is an exceptional dramatic play center that offers lots of career exploration, puppets, cultural costumes, baby dolls, stuffed animals, costume jewelry, purses and shoes, kitchen and restaurant toys, construction playsets and more! It is truly an amazing place for a child to be whatever he or she wants to be! 

    The Reading Center...
 Our reading center offers a cozy space to explore the world of books. Bean bags, large pillows and carpet squares allow for a quiet nook to listen to books on tape or CD as well.

    Our Educational Arena...
 The kiddos love to explore the shelves of manipulatives, puzzles, games, leap frog learning toys, musical instruments, various types of blocks, train and vehicle sets, a large dollhouse with lots of furnishings and community members and more. The possibilities at the Children's Museum are endless!

 The large playspace and colorful tables offer many choices for any activity offered in the Children's Museum!

   The Arts and Crafts Center...
Our open arts and craft room allows for the kiddos to become the artist that they have always wanted to be! All mediums of art materials are available to the kids! Gak, floam, and playdough are just a few of the things that we make and play with. Children can also color their world with many types of paint, papers, stamps, and various colorful writing tools. Our sand and water tables also offer fun sensory experiences.

 Writing in shaving cream, pudding, or sand is also a favorite thing to discover in the art center. The huge canvas paint wall, sand and water tables also allow for some great sensory activity time!


   The Coat Nook...
 Our cozy coat nook is the perfect place for the kids to hang their backpacks, coats, and lunchboxes after a long day of school. 


    Our Classroom...
The comfy classroom offers the perfect space to complete homework, play games, have small group activities, movie time, and even an occasional rest!


  Our Kitchen... 
Whether the kids are enjoying a snack, eating their lunch or participating in a cooking project, our kitchen provides a great space for eating and learning.


The Children's Museum at the Blackfoot Community Center is the perfect place for any early learner to explore the world around them! 


We accommodate children from ages three to eight years old in this creative space including our school year literacy, education and arts (L.E.A.P Frog) preschool program and S.H.A.R.K. afterschool program!  (Check out the Activity Center for activities that are provided for our third through fifth graders!)


During the summer months, our all-day S.H.A.R.K. daycamp program is the place to be! We include swimming, bowling, field trips, service at the community garden, library time, and trips to the local movie theater into our adventure-themed and educationally enriching program!
