April 21, 2012, Saturday - 'Seeds For Sprouts' Family Workshop at MCBA

Time: 10:00am - noon

Location: Minnesota Center for Book Arts, 1011 Washington Avenue South

For families with children ages 2 - 10.

Seeds for Sprouts with Ellen Ferrari

Plant yourself down for Crockett Johnson’s garden story The Carrot Seed and its surprise ending. Make paper with cotton pulp and special tools, then decorate it with all sorts of seeds -- from big bean to little carrot. Plant the paper in your garden and wait for your own surprise ending! Dress for mess with water-safe shoes.

Join Ellen Ferrari for Saturday mornings of family book arts fun! Each workshop starts off with a story and game to warm up your creativity and then dives into a book arts project. Workshops accommodate a range of developmental levels so that adults and children (or) adult/child teams may choose to work together or side-by-side. Each participant receives supplies to use during the workshop, but may choose to bring one set home if working with his or her partner. Ellen will provide older children with suggestions for extending their learning.

$30 ($27 members) per adult/child pair; $15 ($14) each additional participant.
