ArtSparks is a new program for parents and preschool-age kids that promotes the development of cognition, language, motor and social/emotional skills in young children through art projects and play.
Laumeier Sculpture Park's multi-generational Parent & Child workshops are a wonderful way for family members to spend quality and creative time together. Children - along with a parent, grandparent or caregiver - explore new artistic media, develop a meaningful bond and create memories to last a lifetime. One registration includes one adult and one child.
11 a.m. to noon. For kids ages Pre-K with a parent or caregiver. Cost is $10.
At Laumeier Sculpture Park. More information and registration: laumeier.org
