Mixing Up Big Feelings Slime Lab
May 19, 2026
4:30 PM-6:30 PM
Bird Park
893 W Station St, Kankakee
Join us for a free, hands-on, family-friendly event designed for children ages 0–8 and their caregivers. Through playful slime-making activities, kids will explore emotions in a fun, creative, and sensory-friendly environment—because sometimes the best way to work through big feelings is to get a little messy!
Families will enjoy guided slime stations, playful activities focused on emotional expression, and plenty of opportunities for hands-on fun together. Every child will get to take home their custom slime creations, receive a treat bag, and be entered into raffle prize drawings. This event is hosted in partnership with the Kankakee Valley Park District, no registration required!
