We were happy to open our space for a Ramadan craft night. An evening of creating, gathering, and celebrating together 💛
Thank you to the families who made the evening so special.

After hours at Young Explorers 💛
Unboxing, resetting, and getting everything ready for another fun day in the shop.
A few new brands are making their way onto the shelves — can’t wait for you to discover them.

Erie showed up for NeeDoh today!!
We did NOT expect this many kids.
Thank you for showing up and supporting our little shop. It truly means a lot to us.
A few styles sold out within an hour.
Tag a friend who needs to come with you next time!
More NeeDohs (and new favorites) are already on the way.

I got to meet Berkeley Bailey, the co-founder of Wigglitz, at Toy Fair 💃 and honestly, you would all love her.
We just unpacked new Wigglitz… including a few metallic ones hidden in the tub 👀

Whether your child loves art or enjoys experimenting with materials, Art Club is a place to belong.
We meet Wednesdays, 5–6:30pm.
Kids create, connect, and work with their hands.
If this sounds like a good fit for your family, we’d love to have them join us.

Art Club is a space for kids to explore materials, share ideas, and work at their own pace.

We focus on process, curiosity, and making in a small group where everyone can show up as themselves.

If that sounds like a good fit for your child and your family, Art Club meets Wednesdays, 5–6:30pm.

A little Valentine something, the Young Explorers way.
We gathered a mix of small gifts and thoughtful pieces—some playful, some sweet, some you might keep for yourself. There’s something here for kids, grown-ups, and everyone in between.
Valentine favorites are in the shop now.

Art club is a place for kids to experiment with materials, talk while they work, and take their time.
We keep the group small so everyone can work at their own pace and show up as themselves.
Art club meets every Wednesday from 5–6:30pm.

We rush to fix our kids’ discomfort.
But as Dr. Becky Kennedy, founder of Good Inside, reminds us that fixing isn’t what builds resilience. Connection is.
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, during a conversation on Parenting in an Anxious World, she shared a phrase that stayed with me: “sick joy.”
I believe this is hard.
And I believe in you.
I’ve been away from Young Explorers this week, learning and listening, and thinking deeply about how we help children feel supported and capable. Her work continues to shape how we think about connection in our own community, and we’re especially hopeful to have her upcoming children’s book, Leave Me Alone, on our shelves when it’s released.
Grateful for voices that help parents stay connected instead of fixing.

What’s one small moment this shows up in your house?
