Urban Daddy: Crushing Arts, Crafts & Science @ The Poppet Project

Today my 5-year-old son and I hoped on our bikes and headed over to crush some arts, crafts and science at The Poppet Project in El Portal. For parents looking to do something educational and different with their children it’s definetly worth checking out.  The Poppet Project is awesome and the staff were totally cool considering my son did his best to make as big a mess as possible. Unglue your kids from the iPad and head on over.  Prices start at $14/hour for the first child and includes all materials. You can also schedule private parties. Tell them Urban Daddy sent you. 

From The Poppet Project’s website:

“We are a children’s drop-in art, craft and science studio. We’re open all day for you to design, tinker, create, and explore with your children.

Our planned projects rotate constantly, so every day is a new exploration. Budding artists will love our art supplies, crafts, and collaborative masterpieces. Little tinkerers will find oodles of things to take apart and build. Plus, future scientists will have plenty to experiment with.

If you can imagine it, we can help create it!”

Who doesn’t like making slime?

Get your Arts, Crafts & Science on at The Poppet Project!

Miami’s Least Favorite Urbanist Blogger Comes Out of Retirement. Welcome to Stoic Urbanist!

For better or worse I’ve decided to give blogging another go. My hope for Stoic Urbanist is to bring the best of Transit Miami and Miami Urbanist into this blog and more. I plan to focus my writing on raising civic awareness about the lack of government proactivity and political will to make Miami a more livable city.  Stoic Urbanist will advocate for better urban planning, real estate development and public transit.

I will also write about life, humility, dealing with douche-bags, entrepreneurship, business, sales, reading, learning and strategy.

Thank you for checking out Stoic Urbanist and please spread the good word!
