One cold Saturday afternoon, my son Luke, 8, attended the winterized motor fun class at Bricks 4 Kidz located at 6 Madison Avenue in Cresskill. It is a drop off class which is completely awesome since there is a nail salon right next door (super bonus!) and lots of other stores nearby for running errands such as King's and CVS.
Director and co-owner, Raida Merlo, was very welcoming and taught the winterized motor fun class along with her nephew Mark. The class started with about 15 minutes of free play while all the students arrived. Then the kids began to build their projects of the day following a simple step-by-step guide.
Luke built a horse and sleigh and a working "paper" krinkler. He was very proud of his work and couldn't wait to show me when I picked him up.
A bright and clean facility, Bricks 4 Kidz opened its doors in Cresskill on November 24, 2014. The classes offered are 2 hours long and range in price from $35 - $45 depending on the age range (3-13+).

We will definitely be back again on another cold afternoon when I have errands to run and during spring break!
