Messy Art Room
Art exploration is an activity that many families wish for their children…but not always in their own home. The dedicated art room provides an expressive opportunity that few locations can parallel. Art provides a unique window into a child’s development, well-being, and emotions. Kids ‘N’ Stuff has incorporated many adaptations so all children can fully engage in play activities of their choice. The Olson Family Messy Art Room includes large handled paintbrushes, an accessible easel, and a variety of types of scissors so children can explore art to the best of their ability.
We give a special thanks to the Delmar and Audria M. Olson Family Foundation for funding the Messy Art Room and Battle Creek Community Foundation for updating it!

Water Table
One of the joys of childhood has always been playing with water. At Kids 'N' Stuff children will be able to explore the interaction between water and solid objects by creating their own water flow patterns using movable panels. Children will be able to alter water flow speed, direction, turbulence and height. Whether it is racing boats or fishing, kids of all ages will enjoy the water table.
