Does your beanie baby need a home? Does your action figure need a fort?  In this “charrette” –an architectural term for a design challenge – you’ll have 2 hours to design, build and decorate a fabulous structure of your own design. We’ll start by showing you some examples of amazing houses and other buildings from around the globe to provide inspiration. Then on to the design and construction. Does your toy like to swim – add a pool! Like to play basketball – add a court! Like to sleep – design a luxurious bedroom! All along the way, ArchForKids educators will help you design and build.  At the end, you’ll present your creations to your family members.
