Let's explore with some simple art supplies! Rather than focusing on a specific project, we'll try out different tools and techniques!
Back due to patron request, we'll experiment with using watercolor gel crayons. We had a fantastic time with these back in June and many families have asked to use them again!
First we draw with them, then we paint over them with water! These are washable paints, but please do not wear your finest!
Class begins at 10:00 and we'll clean up together at 10:45.
Open Playtime returns with two dates this month! Babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and their grown-ups can join us to enjoy the library's educational toys and each other's company!
Fridays, November 7 and 21 -- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Stay the whole time or just drop in, but definitely don't miss the fun!
