May 12, 2024 @ 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm
Create a Magical Garden Collage with birds, butterflies and bees to Celebrate Spring and Mother’s Day!
Eric Carle decorated his own paper that he used in the collages for his famous children’s books. Together, we’ll create a whole load of painted papers that we’ll use to create cut paper spring collages. You’ll have plenty left to create more collages at home!
