About the event

Babies and toddlers up to 2 years old (and their caregivers!) are welcome to join us on the 2nd and 4th Friday of every month this summer for some very simple crafts! Crafting encourages babies and toddlers to exercise their fine motor skills and eye-hand coordination, develop their critical thinking skills, and get creative!

This week, we will make paintings while enjoying some sensory play! We will use cling wrap or sandwich bags to PAT, SHAKE, and SQUISH paint onto canvases or cardstock paper, mostly mess-free!

Registration is required.

If you have any questions, please contact us @ 919-560-8592.
