On April 24th and 25th we'll celebrate Earth Day 2021 with some weekend workshops. Kids ages 6-11 are invited to come and join Debbie in the studio for a morning of making upcycled treasures. She'll bring everyday items such as boxes, egg cartons, TP rolls, and found objects. Debbie will partner with the kids in using their imagination and these everyday items to create marionettes, 3D flower arrangements, paper lanterns, and more. These classes are limited to 10 students each and will take place in a well ventilated space at the Sharon Art Studio. Register here!
Turning egg cartons into marionettes and TP rolls into paper lanterns is exactly the kind of hands-on creativity kids need more of. My son barely looks up from screens unless something truly captures his imagination, so workshops like this one matter. For parents looking for other engaging options at home, I've been exploring bible games for kids lately, and it's been a great way to keep him both entertained and grounded.
What a fun concept — using everyday materials to make something that actually works and looks impressive is exactly the kind of activity that sticks with kids. The paper lanterns especially make sense as a project because there's that moment when the light goes on and the whole thing transforms. LEGO Speed Champions builders get the same moment when they add a lego car light kit to a finished model — the headlights and interior details that were invisible before suddenly make the whole build feel real rather than just plastic on a shelf. Different materials, same payoff.
Workshops like these are such a great way to let kids express themselves through hands-on art and creativity. Debbie Wu’s sessions sound like a fun and inspiring space for children to play with colors and ideas. If your child enjoys crafting at home too, I recommend checking out lego flower lights to add a magical touch to their LEGO floral sets. It’s a simple addition that makes their creations glow and feel even more special after a creative day like this.
