Glitter & Razz is the Best!

That’s right! We are not just tooting our own horn. Families in the East Bay have tooted our horn for us, so to speak.

Written by Allison This week at Glitter & Razz, our Itty Bitties are “working it out!” Each morning starts with a puppet show, where super specialists from Work it Out Learning collaborate with Glitter & Razz teaching artists to perform stories of friendship, inclusion and honoring our feelings.  Yesterday, a tiny mouse contributed her big ideas about building a tower, even when the other animals weren’t sure she had anything to offer.  Today, the same mouse was overwhelmed by animals who got so excited during a painting project that they lost control of their...
