Cranberry is making kindergarten a snap.

Once a week, kindergartners in Cranberry can either start or end their school day by assembling LEGO bricks into imaginative forms that engage their curiosity and creativity, a statement from the township said.

Cranberry’s parks and recreation department will begin offering hour-long Bricks 4 Kidz classes on six successive Wednesdays starting Feb. 13.
