Sensory Power Hour

Families with kids of all ages are invited to join the staff of NJ4S for a hands-on hour of fun with fidget toys, sand trays, and slime!  This event is a great way for families to explore the benefits of sensory activities for emotional regulation

Supplies and light refreshments will be provided. 

Limited space!  Free tickets at the children's desk beginning at 4:30.

Stuffed Animal Check-Up

Bring your cutest stuffie and give it a checkup, just like a real doctor!  

Learn from future doctors how to perform an exam, including taking your stuffed animal's temperature, listening to its heart, and putting on a bandaid.  This fun event is perfect for kids who want to be doctors when they grow up or those who are anxious about going to their own check-ups.

Presented by HIPHOP-CHI at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
