#23027THANKSGIVING BREAK 2-DAY ART CAMP

THE WEEK OF THANKSGIVING THERE IS NO SCHOOL! We are offering an educational opportunity for your child to be out of the house on Monday and Tuesday. Children bring their lunch and enjoy a day of challenging, unusual and exciting art projects and friendship. We supply a morning and afternoon snack. Also, we have extended hours for those who need it, at no additional cost.

Thanksgiving Break All Day Art Camp will feature a comprehensive puppetry program that spans both days. Each day will also include using various art materials to create additional 2-D and 3-D art projects, watching a short movie about an important artist, playing educational art games and MUCH MORE!

PUPPETRY CLASS DETAILS
The art of puppetry is not made to just look at . . . Puppets are made to perform!
Our featured 2-day puppet program will start on Monday with everyone creating a special hand puppet made with a sculptured paper mâché head and cloth body. On Tuesday everyone will work to finish their puppet. Then the class will be divided into small teams, in which participants will work together to combine their talents in developing a short impromptu puppet play. Parents will be invited to come in to see our dramatic plays at the end of the afternoon.
