Preschool Programs (18 mos.-6 years)  
 

Muck-n-Mess
Preschoolers seem to have a knack for getting dirty—why fight it?  We’re diving right into the squishy, splashy, mucky, and messy projects every child loves! These worthwhile activities embrace a preschooler’s delight in tactile experiences of finger (and toe) painting, paper maché, play-dough making, planting our own trees, plus season projects like pumpkin carving and egg coloring! All participants must come dressed for mess and with a smock (any of dad’s old shirts will be fine).
