About this event

ONCE UPON A CRAFT - A PARENT & ME STORY + CRAFT CLASS - $15

Once Upon a Craft is a joyful, 30-minute monthly class designed to spark creativity and strengthen the bond between young children and their caregivers. Each session begins with a short, engaging picture book read-aloud and flows into a hands-on art or craft activity inspired by the story. No experience necessary — just curiosity and a love of making things together! Sessions will be held the first Thursday of every month, from September through May. Sign up for each session individually.

October's Book: "Room on the Broom" by Julia Donaldson

All materials are provided. Families simply show up and create.

For ages 3-5 years old plus their caregiver.
