Hands on Art--December 2012

Look! Look! Look! Hands on Art

If your preschooler can't get enough of cutting, drawing and painting, check out Hands on Art at the Main Library this Friday at 11 am. This program features simple art for the very young (ages 2-5) plus stories and songs. Hands on Art focuses on activities that, not only encourage creativity, but also build the skills children need for kindergarten. The books below will also increase your child's knowledge of art and the world around him. So check them out and head downtown on Friday, January 4th at 11 am with your own pint-sized Picasso for free, fun, Hands on Art!
