The Loop Ice Carnival is a festival full of frosty fun for all ages. Held on Delmar Blvd. in University City, the carnival features live ice carving demonstrations, 50+ ice sculptures, ice slides and ice games for kids, snowflake ballerinas, beloved Blues mascot Louie, live music, a live drone show and lots more.
There will be art projects, art demonstrations of hot glass and metal work, hands-on projects with clay, paper and fiber, a red-hot Raku pull and more.
Third Fridays at Third Degree Glass Factory are always family friendly, but in April, it's all about kids! It will be a party not to miss with make-your-own art projects, Pi pizza and a sing-along dance party.
Kids can hang out with the creative crew from Artscope St. Louis and create their own unique drawings. The hot glass and flameworking demo artists will help transform kids' creations into works of 3D glass art! There will also be plenty of Pi pizza to enjoy, and awesome fire spinning by St. Louis Fire Technicians.
Kids can work on existing gym skills, learn new skills or just play around during Open Gym at Miss Kelly's Gym in Creve Coeur.
