Third Fridays at Third Degree Glass Factory are always family friendly, but in April, it's all about kids! It will be a party not to miss with make-your-own art projects, Pi pizza and a sing-along dance party.

Kids can hang out with the creative crew from Artscope St. Louis and create their own unique drawings. The hot glass and flameworking demo artists will help transform kids' creations into works of 3D glass art! There will also be plenty of Pi pizza to enjoy, and awesome fire spinning by St. Louis Fire Technicians. 

Bring your kids to this heartwarming free performance of the classic "The Three Little Pigs" family musical.

Edie's Fairytale Theatre performs this fun and educational family favorite featuring three silly, little pigs that try to outsmart the Big Bad Wolf. Along the way, the three little pigs learn to cooperate in the nick of time by working together to build a house and outwit the Big Bad Wolf. Not by the hair of your chiny chin chin will you want to miss this extraordinary, interactive performance!

Have your child's bicycle helmet professionally checked for fit and safety at this free event. Pre-registration is required.

Trained professionals from St. Louis Children's Hospital will check for a correct fit for your child and make sure that the helmet is approved for current standards at no charge. If your child needs a different helmet or does not have a helmet, approved helmets will be available for $11. Parents and children will be taught how to put a helmet on correctly so they can continue this important safety practice at home.
