17 upcoming · 2 local studios
Long Beach's movement listings run through two venues, with the bulk of the 17 upcoming sessions hosted by Long Beach Public Library. Programs there skew toward early childhood and open-ended activity rather than structured instruction: Play Dough Time and Play Hooray both welcome ages 12 to 60 months, and every event on the calendar is free. Older kids and mixed-age groups have options too, including Chess Club, Jr. Gamers, and Pokémon Club. Browse the full schedule below, and filter by age band to find sessions that fit.

Come hang out while squishing, smooshing, rolling and flattening homemade play dough! When a child uses play dough, they build strength in their hands and increase fine motor skills. This strength will make them ready for pencil and scissor control later in life. Please register each participant individually to ensure we have enough supplies for everyone.
