Play-Doh Club is not just about playing. As well as helping to develop imagination and creativity, young children can develop fine motor skills by using Play-Doh to build strength in the tendons and muscles of their hands and helping to develop hand-eye coordination. 

Older children, teens, and adults can show their creativity as well, but all the squeezing and pummeling are the perfect stress relief as well!

EVERYONE has fun creating with Play-Doh!

About: We will be discussing: Exit 13: The Whispering Pines by James Preller.

The McGinns were supposed to be going on a perfectly normal family vacation. Sure, Ash's older sister Willow was a pain, their dog Daisy was a whiny scaredy cat, and their parents were being kind of lame. All of that was to be expected. Perfectly normal! But when the family decides to make an unplanned stop one night, it quickly becomes clear that this family vacation is about to get more than a little weird, because there is nothing normal about the EXIT 13 Motel. Rooms and hallways that don't go where they're supposed to, a receptionist that looks like he came straight out of a horror movie, and creepy woods that Ash swears has some kind of monster lurking in it - maybe even more than one. Something has been going on ever since the McGinns checked into this motel, and if Ash and Willow can't get to the bottom of it, they might never be able to check out.

Registration begins February 13 at the Ninety-Six Branch (in person or by phone).
