Hello LA friends! After a tough start to the New Year, we are excited to finally announce our Free Activities Pop-up for Fire Relief. The pop-up will start Saturday, February 8th - in collaboration with Jess from The Green Bean - and runs through Sunday, February 23rd!
Eagle Rock closely neighbors Altadena, where the Eaton Fire occurred, and many beloved businesses and friends were affected. Once the fires were contained, we knew that the best way we could help is by offering what we try to offer every other day of the year— some joy, hope, and fun!
This in-store pop-up will be made up of brand new activities, books, DIY, and stationery. All items have been generously donated by our lovely vendors and are completely free to those affected by the LA fires. We will have tables set up with the donated items, where people can come and choose what they’d like. These items are also open to teachers, librarians, and anyone in need from the fires.
Thank You for your Donations: House of Marbles, Liz Climo, Marmals, Ooly, Stickii, We Heart LA Parks, Worldwide Buddies.
From Stickii: Here's some sticker ideas for teachers to use w/ students!— journaling, tactile therapy, mail art, decorating, making bookmarks, to-do lists, cards, and letters. You can also layer stickers with each other or with other items (scrap paper, construction paper, shapes, magazines, newspapers, etc). This is a form of art therapy, the goal is to simply create and give students an activity that allows them to relax and take their mind off things.
In regards to the LA Fires, we are thankful that the Wonderland Team, staff & families are all safe. But so many have lost everything. If you have the means and want to donate to help support firefighters, animals, and victims of the LA fires, we've put together a list below of a few places still in need. Thank you for your support!
