September 2 from 10:00 – 11:00 am
Come play, experiment, and learn how to do art! Children will be given brief and simple instructions on the project of the day. This might include acrylic painting, decorating a card, making fruit and/or vegetable prints, or painting wood. We’ll use kid-safe acrylic paint with a variety of tools including paint brushes, tooth brushes, vegetable stamps, and leaves. Art making at an early age can enhance fine motor skills, creativity, problem solving, not to mention joy! The group space provides opportunities to work on cooperation, sharing, turn taking and respecting space. All supplies included. Please enter through the 5th Street door.
