Lake Station, IN — Start the new year with creativity, fun, and learning at Bellaboo’s Play and Discovery Center’s Building Block Party, happening January 2–5, 2024. This family-friendly event offers an enriching opportunity for children, parents, and caregivers to explore the developmental power of block play while gaining insights into early childhood growth and learning.
This year, Bellaboo’s is elevating the Building Block Party with new, expanded activities that bring families together for hands-on learning and creativity.
