We’ve been having a blast with the recycled\/found object art cigar boxes. They are all unique, just like their creators.
There’s still room for three in Session 3 (next week) if anyone wants to join. And there’s one open spot in session 4. See the schedule here.<\/a> Remind kids to bring favorite small objects, pictures, decorations they want to include in their box creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
