2024-06-21 10:00 - 12:00 (America/Chicago) | The Drip Coffee Company, 2240 St Andrews Blvd, Panama City, Florida, 32405, United States
Join us for this FREE, fun, and interactive screening event for children 2 months to 8 years of age at the Drip Coffee Co. on Friday, June 21st from 10:00 AM to Noon!

Books, Balls, & Blocks (BBB) is an interactive parent event that allows families the opportunity to learn about their child’s development, complete developmental screenings, and access community resources. This event includes activity stations revolving around books (emergent literacy), balls (gross and fine motor and problem-solving skills), and blocks (emergent math and motor skills). Educational games and activities from the event can also be easily created at home!

On the surface, children are just playing, but in reality, this play encourages learning. So don’t wait and see… check and see!
