Virtual
Gather your family and join Madeline Garcia, MCBA’s Education & Community Engagement Coordinator, for a virtual workshop! You’ll learn how to make three warm weather-inspired pop-up cards to send to your loved ones this summer. Fun and accessible to many developmental levels, this workshop is open to all ages. Families can choose to work together or separately to create their cards (some adult help suggested when using Xacto knife).
A NOTE ON MATERIALS:
To follow along with the workshop, all participants will need to prepare the following tools and materials. For $10, you can have a materials kit shipped to you (you will still need to gather your own tools if you order a materials kit).
