How can YOU Play, Learn, and Discover at Our World Bazaar?
Play
Children can role-play as shoppers, chefs, storytellers, and more. They fill baskets with foods from different cultures, whip up imaginative meals in the play kitchen, try on traditional clothing, or perform stories on the cozy stage. It’s a dynamic space for pretend play, creativity, and cultural exploration.
