Kids Club at SOCO + The OC Mix
01.15.20
Calling all creative kiddos of Orange County! SOCO + The OC Mix now has a Kids Club launching this month that will bring fun events and interactive programming to the center all year long. The very first event will be held on Wednesday, January 15 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., and the fun will continue throughout the year on the third Wednesday of each month.
This all-new Kids Club invites children ages 6 months & up and their parents to take part in various creative + hands-on activities! Every event will offer a live story reading, music + dancing, and a fun craft. What’s more, families will have a chance to enjoy a number of discounts from participating SOCO + The OC Mix retailers.
Be part of this memorable launch event and celebrate by joining SOCO’s Kids Club for its first event next Wednesday, where storytime will feature a live reading of Tacky the Penguin, the classic tale of a penguin who didn’t fit in. Following storytime, families can enjoy music + dancing with Mr. Christopher and make their very own adorable penguin craft.
To register for the January’s Kids Club event, please visit chillin-in-the-new-year. Those who RSVP in advance will receive one raffle entry at the event, and one lucky attendee will win exclusive prizes like gift cards and giveaways!
