Paper Sculpture
Twist, crinkle, curl… and create! On Thursday, young artists turned simple paper strips into bold, dimensional masterpieces bursting with colors. By bending and layering strips onto a base, kids explore movement and design in a hands-on way that made their artwork practically pop off the page.

Fireflies in a Jar
Nature has its own light show—and now your kids can create one too! Fireflies use their blinking patterns to communicate. Some are saying 'Hey there!' while others might be flashing 'Back off!'—kind of like texting, but glowier and with waaaay fewer emojis.

Stars & Stripes Poppers
We're turning patriotic colors into high-flying fun on Friday with our patriotic pompom poppers!
