Spring Blooms Fun at Crystal Mall

Kidgits Club hosts Spring Extravaganza for members

Now that spring is here, Crystal Mall is ready to celebrate with a special event, Kidgits Spring Extravaganza, taking place on Saturday, May 30 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

During the event, children will enjoy a morning that includes spring-themed crafts and activities such as creating sand art necklaces and making their own dove of peace from craft sticks, paper, fun googly eyes and a fuzzy craft ball. There will also be a butterfly and baby birds nest activity, a carnival bean bag toss, refreshments and goody bags for the first 50 Simon Kidgits Club members. In addition, Gymboree and JCPenney Portrait Studio will be among the festivities as well.

“We couldn’t think of a better way to welcome spring than to host a fun event to celebrate with our Kidgits Club members,” said Debbie Botelho, director of marketing and business development for Crystal Mall. “We are excited to welcome families to Crystal Mall and enjoy a morning of springtime-themed activities that will certainly add to the joy this season brings.”
