 Holiday Toy Drive Kick Off Party November 20th

This year, Landis' Labyrinth is proud to be supporting APCH (A Place Called Home.)  This wonderful non profit is a comprehensive youth center located in South Central Los Angeles. They provide enrichment classes ranging from dance to college prep, a counseling center, and a safe and fun space for at risk youth to play and grow in after regular school hours.

Every year they provide a magical holiday party for their immediate community including a massive Christmas present give away. We are so excited to encourage our own community of Hancock Park to support APCH's efforts by donating toys for kids of all ages to be handed out at the party.

Starting at the beginning of November we will have a bin set out at Landis General Store (142 N Larchmont Blvd.) along with more information about APCH.

Our Toy Drive Kick Off Party will include all three of our storefronts and will go from 4:00pm to 7:00pm on Friday November 20th.

Why Join Us On Facebook? (Or Instagram, or Twitter or...)

As a brick and mortar business with a strong tie to our immediate community, the internet can be both a blessing and a curse. We know you Amazon shoppers are out there and we get it, it's convenient, but we also get the importance of experiences you can only have in an actual store.

 How else can you to know a product before you spend your hard earned money on it, or the significance of showing your baby a toy and knowing he or she will love it before ever checking out. What about taking a child to create his or her own birthday wishlist or to pick out a present, with thought and care, for a close friend?

We value these experiences above impersonal convenience and we know from the familiar faces we see in our shops everyday that many of you do too.

So how does a small business like us use the internet to our (and your) advantage? In a number of ways!

Happy Saint Patricks' Day! - Enjoy Our Lucky Holiday Craft Idea from Amanda Johnson!

Here is another great craft from our resident activity expert Amanda Johnson, check out some of her other awesome crafts from past blog posts and come meet her in person at her upcoming Spring Into Craft Event right here at Landis!

Project: Fruit Loop Rainbow
Time: less than 1 hour total.


Supplies:
- Fruit Loop Cereal
- White Glue
- Glitter (optional)
- Construction Paper / Lightweight cardboard or paper plates.

Directions:

1. Draw out a rainbow on the construction paper
2. Pour some cereal onto a paper plate for the kids to pick from. I find it easier to see and sort the colors if I use a plate instead of a bowl.
3. Put a line of glue around the outside edge of the rainbow on the construction paper or paper plate. Have your child place red fruit loops on the line.
4. When they are done with the red line, put down another line of glue just below the red row and have them cover it with orange fruit loops.
5. Continue with this process until your rainbow has all the colors.

Optional - Shake glitter onto the glue before the fruit loops to ad some extra sparkle.

Enjoy!

White Light, White Night!

 This Weekend Landis' Labyrinth was proud to be involved in the White Light White Night 2014 fundraising event in support of Walk With Sally, an amazing non-profit organization that provides mentoring and services to children whose parents or siblings have cancer. 

  It was a beautiful event on top of a parking structure that was transformed into a white wonderland. The food and drink from local South Bay business was exquisite and most importantly the silent and live auctions both raised funds for activities and services for children in need.  

 We want to thank Walk With Sally for a very special evening and for doing such a  wonderful job promoting an important cause.
