SUMMARY:Rothschild: Mini Makers
DESCRIPTION:Young children are invited to get creative and explore child-led process art with a variety of projects! Process art is focused on the creation part of the process instead of following a specific set of directions. It allows for many different possibilities while children develop their creativity\, critical thinking and fine motor skills\, and even gain confidence in their artistic and crafting abilities! There will be a different project each month so that children have an opportunity to unleash their creativity in new ways while caregivers are able to meet with other community members. Examples of projects that may be offered include nature stamps\, dropper paintings\, paper sculpture\, bubble painting\, and more! \nThis free event is open to young children up to age 5 and their caregivers. We’ll meet on the second Wednesday of each month this summer. Stop by anytime from 10:30 to 12:30 p.m. For more information\, call 715-359-6208.
