We love Tinkergarten classes! A great way for the family to get outside together, make new friends and earn skill badges through high quality play-based laerning.
It’d be great if these were placed on a map or named an area they were in.
Ooh, yes! Many of these have multiple locations – gonna think on how to best do that. Thanks for the idea!
Wow this list is so incredibly helpful! Thank you!!
