July 9, 16, 23, 30 - More Pint-sized Playacting July 12 - The Peepers Are Coming! Sandy created the first Peeper creatures as unique baby gifts for friends, using paint and cut paper. She continued to develop and share her adorable Peeper Pals within her circle of friends and family. Peepers never fail to spark a smile, so it wasn't long before "We the Peepers" was born. Dana Clerkin, Sandy's sister, brings her business background to the company's daily activities as Operations Director. In keeping with the sisters' commitment to children's causes, Dana coordinates the company's important mission of donating a portion of "We The Peepers'" proceeds to programs that benefit children. "We The Peepers Give Back" is a partnership program developed soon after Sandy created the very first Peeper. Both sisters feel it is critical to give back to their community and help those children who need it most. Currently, a portion of the sale of each Peepers product benefits the pediatric ophthalmology department at the Inova Fairfax Hospital for Children in Fairfax, VA. This partnership will help Inova care for and protect the "peepers" of premature babies. July 19, from 9:30-11:30 a.m. Preschool Palettes
Each piece of your child's artwork has its own story. You'll want to be sure to save your favorite pieces "for keeps," because otherwise, over time, those masterpieces may fade, tear or even disintegrate. Why not showcase all of these treasures in a timeless (and space-saving) hardcover book? Preschool Palettes will preserve your child's masterpieces in a one-of-a-kind keepsake book for sharing and showing off.
Please plan to join us as we celebrate all things Waldo! We'll have games, word searches, a Waldo look-alike contest and a storewide search for Waldo! There will be prizes for the winners and fun for all! Sunday, July 26 at 2 p.m., for kids ages 6 and up.
