El Día de los Muertos – The Day of the Dead

Saturday, October 24, 3 – 4:30 p.m.

Get ready for the Day of the Dead with us. Enjoy traditional “bread of the dead” and hot chocolate, and face paint for children. Make tissue paper marigolds and skeleton finger puppets, and decorate a frame to hold a photo of an ancestor.

Squishtivities!

Wednesday, October 28, 10 – 10:45 a.m.

Squishtivities are art programs for young children (babies, toddlers, young preschoolers). The goal is to explore art that might feel a little too messy for home, and to get some parental experience with the range of art that your child can explore at their age. This is a drop in program, but we encourage that you come right at 10:00 because we must begin clean up right on time to make room for Toddler Story Time. Come splash, paint, bubble, chalk, and explore with us each month.
