The first time I went to Leonardo’s Basement in Minneapolis was for a birthday party. I thought it was totally AWESOME! There were big bins filled with all sorts of building materials. I felt like my imagination could run free.
Last summer, I took some classes there. My favorite class was Duct, Duct, Duct Tape because you could make anything you wanted with duct tape. I made a wallet and a bomber plane and if I had more time I would have made a lunch box too.
Last summer, Leonardo’s Basement opened a new location in the Griggs Recreation Center in St. Paul. They are using the outdoor fields to make all sorts of HUGE projects, like building a castle.
Kids who are creative really should check out Leonardo’s Basement in Minneapolis or Saint Paul. I know I’ll be spending a lot of time there this summer.
