Lil Chameleon Launches Imagination Station ‘Themed Playdates’

Sometimes as a parent or caretaker, it’s hard coming up with fresh activities to keep your lil ones occupied and engaged. Lil Chameleon, an award-winning kid’s resale shop, a play cafe, and party service provider just unveiled a new program: Imagination Station. It’s the perfect way to get out of the house and let your 2-6 year old enjoy unstructured pretend-play.

With rotating themes each week, dress-up props and a DIY craft as well as other toys and kids to play with, it’s the playdate you didn’t have to clean the house to have.

During August, Imagination Station is a 2 hour session from 10-12pm Mondays and Wednesdays. When September comes around, book a 1 hour session most days from 12-5pm. Check the website for available days and hours and book your time. There’s limited space available per session so reservations are requested.

With healthy snack options available in their self-serve play cafe, it’s a nice escape for kids and caretakers alike. For younger toddlers, it helps to fill long days or for the slightly older kids, it’s a great option for an after-school imaginary-play-pitstop. Sibling discounts are available as well. Lil Chameleon also offers Saturday Imagination Station hours!
