Create, Learn, and Play: Spring Make & Create Classes in Brownsburg

·

Spring is the perfect time to try something new, get creative, and spend time together as a family. This season, the Town of Brownsburg Parks is offering several hands-on programs designed to help residents do just that.

From crafting a cuddly spring plush to learning practical car skills or celebrating a day of kite flying, these upcoming programs invite participants of all ages to create, learn, and explore together.

Spring Stuffies

Young creators can celebrate the season with Spring Stuffies, a cozy and creative evening designed especially for little ones.

During the program, children will create and stuff their own spring-themed plush animal to take home. Choose from a fuzzy duck, spotted piglet, swampy frog, or stardust unicorn! The event also includes a special story time with the Brownsburg Public Library and light refreshments, making it a fun and memorable way for families to welcome the new season together.

The program takes place at Bundy Lodge on March 20 from 5-7 PM, and offers kids a chance to combine imagination, crafting, and storytelling in one sweet spring event. Registration is required online.

Make & Take in the Parks

Families looking for a simple way to get creative outdoors can check out Make & Take in the Parks, a free program that brings crafting to the parks.

Each session features a different nature-inspired project that participants can create and take home. The April session will focus on making seed bombs, a fun activity that helps encourage pollinators and supports local ecosystems.

Roadside Rescue with Ben’s Garage

Not every class involves glitter and glue; some teach skills that can come in handy when you need them most.

In Roadside Rescue with Ben’s Garage, participants will learn practical car-care basics from the owner of Ben’s Garage. The hands-on class covers everyday roadside situations, including changing a tire, checking your oil, and responding to common vehicle issues.

Designed for ages 16 and up, this free class, held on April 23 at 6 PM at Bundy Lodge, helps build confidence and preparedness for drivers who want to feel more comfortable handling unexpected problems on the road.

National Let’s Fly a Kite Day

Spring winds also bring the perfect opportunity to celebrate National Let’s Fly a Kite Day.

This family-friendly program invites participants to build and decorate their own kites and fly them at Williams Park on April 19 from 2-4 PM. It’s a simple activity that combines creativity, movement, and time outdoors.
