Minni Make + Play virtual workshops are designed to keep little ones ages 1.5–5 creating from the comfort of home. Each themed workshop focuses on skill development, simple repurposed materials and unique ways to engage with our environments.
In Minni Make + Play – Shadow Boxes (virtual) students + caregivers will transform a simple box into a bright work of abstract art. Instructor Maria will begin with a book reading before showing students how to collage, layer and reimagine 2D and 3D objects.
