Recyclables come into our homes every day—boxes, bottlecaps, catalogs, and on and on. Using them to make whatever the maker can imagine—something to look at or play with, or store in or wear—is a way of thinking, revising, and expressing ideas. Children are masters at this!
Space is limited for each workshop, so be sure to reserve your spot today!
