Sensory Art Time

Explore a range of sensory experiences with a variety of art materials in a relaxed, hands-on setting. The focus is on process art, encouraging playful experimentation with one or two mediums without the expectation of a finished piece. Participants are welcome to switch between materials or blend them together. For children who enjoy creating a final product, assistance is available to make a personalized sensory or fidget toy. For questions or accommodation requests, email Ms. Alex at childrensstaff@bloomingtonlibrary.org.

Monday Night Music Bingo

Settle in at Lil Beaver Brewery for a spirited twist on bingo that swaps numbers for songs. Each player receives a card with six squares, then the host plays short clips. When you hear a tune and spot the artist or title on your card, mark it down. Stumped on a track? Team up with a neighbor, try a music identification app, or do a quick search. It is all part of the fun. It is free to play, and prizes are on the line every round. Expect plenty of sing along moments, laughter, and a chance to discover new favorites as the playlist rolls. It is bingo with a soundtrack and a laid back vibe.
