  1. Messy Art with Laurie: Cinnamon Creations

    Comments Off on Messy Art with Laurie: Cinnamon Creations

    Thursday, December 19 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

    Join Ms. Laurie and our art studio staff for a weekly drop-in art experience designed especially for our youngest visitors and caregivers. Little artists can explore materials and art making with their senses through open ended process-based projects. Best of all, we do all the cleanup!

    Today, we’ll use fragrant and festive cinnamon clay to create peppy holiday decorations. Please note, these are non-toxic but NOT edible! There is glue in the formula, so please smell but don’t taste.

    This event is free with general museum admission. Photo credit: Jean Van’t Hul
