Great scientists ask great questions. 🔬
Like: is the Loch Ness Monster real? What does the forensic evidence actually say about Bigfoot? And how do urban legends spread and survive for decades?
.
In Mythbusters Club, kids learn to think like real investigators — mashing up forensics, research, critical thinking, and creativity to explore the world`s most fascinating mysteries.

Field notebooks provided. Minds will be blown. 📓

What if afterschool was the BEST part of your child`s day? 🌟

That`s exactly what we built our Fall 2026 Afterschool Clubs to be. Seven clubs. Created and taught by certified teachers. Designed around what kids actually love. Small groups, big joy, and real learning that doesn`t feel like learning at all.

🔍 Mythbusters Club — investigate cryptids & legends through real science
💥 Boom Club — explore the fire-free science of explosions
🍪 Cookie Club — bake from scratch & discover the chemistry of cookies
🍽️ Dinner`s on Me — cook real family meals to take home every week
👶 Babysitters Club — earn badges & build real babysitting skills
⭐ Critter Club — learn about how to care for (and meet!) different pets

Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? Is it going to end up on your shirt? 🫧

IT`S OOBLECK DAY at the Florence Farmers` Market tomorrow — and yes, we are taking it outside for maximum fun and minimum mess (for you, anyway — we`ve got aprons and we`re not afraid to use them).
.
Come get your hands into the most satisfying science experiment of the summer. Oobleck is free, hands-on, and genuinely one of those things that kids (and let`s be honest, adults) cannot stop touching.
.
📅 This Wednesday | 2–6 PM
📍 Florence Civic Center Parking Lot
🎉 Free — no registration required — aprons provided!
See you there! 🫧

We are trying to be as cool as a cucumber. 🥒
.
We really are. School just got out. Families need a minute. We get it.
.
BUT! We cannot stop thinking about our Fall 2026 Afterschool Club lineup and we are BARELY holding it together.
.
Seven brand new afterschool clubs. Created and taught by certified teachers. Enriching, joyful, and kid-approved — the smiles tell it all. 😊
The big reveal is THIS WEDNESDAY. Registration opens July 1.
Stay cool out there. We`ll be over here. Trying. 🥒

Is there anything better in summer than days having fun at the @florencefarmersmarketma? We had a BLAST last week with our Crater Science (get the pun!?).
.
Please join us this Wednesday between 2-6 for Oobleck Lab! Get ready to get messy. Of course we`ll have the Space Trailer and pop-up reading room ready for snuggles and readers as well.

After working for 11 weeks on building social emotional skills that help us shine on the inside, our fairies earned their wings at the last Fairy Club meeting this past week at @high_five_books. What a magical experience and fun way to learn about how to be kinder and more emotionally intelligent humans!
.
.
And y`all. Our next round of Afterschool Clubs drops next week with registration opening on July 1. The magic is happening...again!

Crater science at the @florencefarmersmarketma! Today kids created a meteor impact simulation with flour, cocoa powder, and different sized rocks, a.k.a. meteors. They made observations after impact and talked about gravity. It was a stellar, we mean, lunar time!
