Vacation Program
- Friday, December 27, 2013
- 9:00 am – 3:00 pm
- Designed for ages 6 to 12
These are some books we admired on the 2013 Best Books for Young Readers lists. (Some were published in 2012.) Each book suggests something interesting to explore. When you come to class, you will select two project workshops. We will read part of the book and explore the world it describes in artful experiments. Our suggestion: choose one topic that you know you will like; and one that seems completely new. The projects, but not the books, are included in the tuition. Any of these books might be a great gift.

Create Sculpy characters that have filled the Time Traveller's world for 50 years…(whose original alien characters always looked like they were made of Sculpy anyway.)

The projects, but not the books, are included in the tuition. Any of these books might be a great gift.
