Hello Amazing GiGi’s Playhouse Houston Families!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We miss you all so much and we still want the show to go on… just from home for now!
\nWith the help from GiGi’s Playhouse Indianapolis, we have put together activities and lesson plans for you all!<\/p>\n

The lessons below are for all ages, infant to adult. They include LMNOP (Language, Music, N’ our Peeps), GiGi’s Fit, GiGi’s Kitchen, and additional outside resources! We are so excited for these lessons and we hope you check back for more in the coming weeks.\u00a0 Note * You will be responsible for assembling your own supplies.<\/p>\n
