Leslie Science & Nature Center: Adventures and Education in a Park in the City

My kid is a dynamo at Minecraft. She can virtually engineer her way around fire and lava through complicated structures at rapid speed with pals twice her age.

Minecraft is bonding with her pals at school and a planned highlight on play dates.
