The Children’s Museum of Eau Claire is excited to announce the return of our big (and small!) construction weekend, Dream it, Build it! Children and families are invited to design, create, and construct using all—and we mean ALL—of our Blue Blocks, along with our Rigamajig set, MakeDo tools with endless cardboard for Cardboard Construction, LEGO® bricks throughout the exhibits (CV Blockheads joining us on Saturday), and hands-on building supplies in The Makery. This event is all about letting loose the inner architect and designer in every child. Let’s see where imagination and ingenuity take them as they build, build, build! Sponsored by Market & Johnson. Daily admission or membership applies.
