New imagination station in the works

St. Paul-based design firm, Kidzibits, is building a new imagination station and multipurpose table for the children’s area. The multifunctional imagination station will host several play experiences from a food truck to a pet vet, dinoverse, art studio--the possibilities are endless. The multipurpose table has inserts for weaving and duplos, a light bright table, as well as a light table that can be used with a multitude of building materials to capture learning in engineering, creating, imagining, and playing together.
