SUMMARY:Seed & Sprout: Family Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Come after school on Thursday\, April 30 from 4:30-6:00 p.m. and enjoy creating seed art as a family and getting a little messy making seed bombs together! Seed art is a similar concept to diamond art\, but instead uses nature’s “gems.” This come-and-go event is the perfect chance to slow down and enjoy family time together. Families with children of all ages are welcome\, but this program is recommended for children ages 5-12 because small seeds/beans will be used in the program that might be a choking hazard for small children. \nShare:
