Made for Maplewood
Maplewood is full of creative people: artists, musicians, writers and makers, and kids who grow up watching them make things. Here, making something isn't just a hobby. It's how neighbors meet, and what connects us all.
That's what a Genius Gems party is built around. Every child makes something with their own hands, side by side and togethAer with their friends, and takes it home at the end.
