We are excited to partner with Soar in 4 as well as the Palmetto Historical Park to host a free Cardboard Challenge.
What's a cardboard challenge? Families will design and build something out of cardboard, recycled materials and imagination inspired by the prompts that will posted around the Palmetto Historical Park and Manatee County Agricultural Museum. This event will foster creativity, ingenuity, resourcefulness, and more are they engage in creative play.
The Global Cardboard Challenge is an annual initiative of Imagination.org. Inspired by the short film, 'Caine's Arcade', the Cardboard Challenge is a worldwide celebration of child creativity, and the role communities can play in fostering it. We encourage you to watch the original short film on Youtube to see the inspiration for this event!
Starting October 17th, we are accepting cardboard boxes, toilet paper and paper towel rolls, cereal boxes, and any other cardboard like item that can be used at this event. If you are able to save up any of these supplies that can be used by families on October 21st please bring them by starting Tuesday, October 17th - Friday, October 20th during our open hours.
