Do Tortoises and Turtles Bite?

Do tortoises and turtles bite? The simple answer is yes. In captivity it normally happens by accident.

Monster Squad

Halloween is finally here! Thank you to all of our young artists who helped us imagine a monstrously fun Halloween party at Kidspace.

Sound Effects

Puppets

Puppets have the power to communicate extraordinary stories filled with creatures and characters that spring to life from our imagination, no matter how wild and out of this world they might seem.

Blue Moon

A Blue Moon is the name given to the second full moon in a calendar month, which only occurs every two to three years. This year we get to experience a Blue Moon on Halloween. To prepare for this uncommon lunar event, we’ve put together some ways to explore the Moon.

Halloween Food

Exploring creative ways to eat is simply a delicious way to celebrate Halloween at home this year. Always hungry for fun, we’ve put together a menu of Halloween inspired snacks, meals, and treats for you to try!

Bats

Join Kidspace in celebrating international Bat Week, a tribute to some of our most remarkable and important nocturnal neighbors. You might not notice them during the day, but bats live all around us, roosting in small groups under freeway overpasses, on rocky hillsides, in attics and abandoned buildings, and high up in the fronds of palm trees.

Día de los Muertos

Today we are taking a break from Halloween to share with you another beautiful holiday that takes place this time of year. At Kidspace we love to connect and learn about each other, and that means hearing from and celebrating all the people on our team and in our community!
