Hilldale Hijinks

Let the wiggles (and the giggles) begin! Join us on The Green for a series of fun-filled mornings made just for the littles. Each week brings a new theme, new activity, and plenty of ways for kids ages 3–7 to move, play, and make a little summer magic.

Pre-registration is required and costs $5 per child, per event— proceeds go to the Boys & Girls Club of Dane County. Space is limited.

Feeling extra generous? Bring a school supply from the list below to donate, and your kiddo will score an exclusive Hilldale bucket hat—perfectly sized for stylish little heads. (While supplies last)

🧘‍♀️ Tuesday, June 24: Wiggles to Warrior Pose – Kid’s Yoga with lululemon

From wiggles to warrior pose—your little movers are invited to stretch it out on The Green with lululemon ambassador, Erin Van Schyndle ! This playful 30-minute yoga session is designed for kids, but grown-ups are welcome to join the flow, too. Just bring your own mat and a sense of fun.

After class, stick around to let loose with hula hoops, bubbles, and all the post-pose energy they can handle. It’s movement, mindfulness, and a whole lot of joy. Plus, parents can stop by the lululemon table and enter for the chance to win a prize!
