Minni Make + Play – Fruit + Veggie Prints

Ages 1.5–5 

Private Minni Make + Play online workshops are designed to keep little ones ages 1.5–5 creating from the comfort of home. Each themed virtual workshop focuses on skill development, simple repurposed materials and unique ways to engage with our environments.

In Minni Make + Play – Fruit + Veggie Prints participants will explore the wonders of their favorite fruits + vegetables before using them to create original works of art. Instructor Maria will begin with a book reading before guiding students through a series of sensory activities focused on the colors and textures found in the fridge.
