SUMMARY:Nature Creators
DESCRIPTION:Calling all creators and builders! Join us in the Nature PlaySpace as we bring out materials to create artwork or build structures\, while we connect with the natural world around us. Each week will look a little bit different as we utilize different materials\, strive towards different goals\, and bring together different creative minds. A Museum staff facilitator will be present\, helping to facilitate your creative experience. \nThis is a free\, drop-in program. Staff and materials will be available between 10:30 and 11:30am\, or until materials are gone. Come dressed for the weather and ready to get messy! Everyone is welcome at the Nature PlaySpace\, but it has been designed especially for kids 7 and younger. \nFor more information\, contact Kiersten Bowser at kiersten.bowser@naturalsciences.org
