🎃 We know summer just started, but we’re already thinking about fall… pumpkins specifically!

How cool would it be for your kiddo to plant their very own pumpkin seed 🌱 and then come back in the fall to harvest the pumpkin they helped grow? 🎃

We’re hoping to get this special experience on the schedule for next week and think it could become a fun new Bug & Bear tradition. 🧡

Would your family be interested?

👇 Drop a 🎃 in the comments if you’d love to join us!

POV: You came for Storytime and stayed for the foam party. 🫧☀️💦🌿
The squeals. The belly laughs. The little feet running barefoot through mountains of bubbles. These are the moments childhood is made of.
We’re so grateful to spend our summer mornings making memories with your families—playing, exploring, and embracing a little mess along the way.
Because sometimes the best memories come from the simplest things. 💚

Our first Summer Storytime at our outdoor location was so much fun!

It may have been a little warmer than we’d hoped for at 10 AM, but that didn’t stop the kids from having a great time. We enjoyed a story, bubble themed activities, and plenty of outdoor play and exploration together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first week. We can’t wait to see you again!

Next week’s theme is WATER! Be prepared for water tables, sprinklers, sensory bins, and all sorts of water play fun. We recommend bringing a towel, sunscreen, and a change of clothes—because there’s a good chance your little one will get wet!

We hope to see you next Wednesday! 💦📚☀️🌿
