Please note that all children must be accompanied by a parent or adult. OCTOBER 8 at 10 am (rain date: Sunday, October 9) Children’s Craft Activity: Animals from Natural Materials. Activity Leader: Diana Pelletier, HPGC President. Children will learn how to make a straw animal from straw, sticks, nuts, and other natural materials. The straw will be bound with twine that children can learn to knot. Some items may need to be glued, so an adult with a glue gun will assist. This activity is appropriate for children ages 6 to 10, although older children are welcome. All children must be accompanied and supervised by a parent or adult. Materials will be supplied, but participants are encouraged to bring any natural materials from their own yards to use and share. Kid-sized work gloves are helpful, but not necessary. The event is free for HPGC members. Non-members are welcome by registering here through Eventbrite; a donation per group is requested, but not required.
