Overview
Little Sprouts Play Cafe is celebrating six years in the community, with a custom play location in Shorewood.
They’ve created a casual, bright, and friendly space that is perfect for a play date.
You can discover the play zones right along with your kids, keep an eye on them while you chat with a friend over Stone Creek coffee, or take advantage of the free wi-fi.
Ideal for kids ages 0-6, the thoughtful toys inside are meant to spark imaginative play.
Their play spaces are updated regularly, but you’re likely to find wooden play structures, a fanciful tipi, a pretend market, costumes, books, and more.
The cafes are open most days of the week from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Specific hours are listed on their website.
Dropping in to play is always welcome. However, reservations are encouraged for open play hours so that they can save room for you and maintain smaller capacities.
Outside of open play hours, they host a variety of sensory and play-based classes.
Birthday Parties
Little Sprout’s award-winning birthday parties have been recognized in The Shepherd Express, Winnie, and more.
For any party at their cafes, your group celebrates with a fully, private event. You can choose to bring your own food and decorations or let them supply it all.
Package options range from a mini Sprout Package to a big blowout, the Full Bloom Package. The new Brunch Package is even set up to provide the food and decor.
Pro Tips
Bring socks – they are required.
To keep their cafe floor safe for their smallest guests, socks are required on all feet in their play areas.
Leave snacks at home.
