August 11, 2016, Thursday - Let's Go to the Fair! Workshop with Ellen Ferrari at MCBA

Time: 1:00pm - 3:00pm

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

Let's Go to the Fair! with Ellen Ferrari

For families with children ages 2-10

Get ready for the Minnesota State Fair with Donald Crews' Night at the Fair. Buy your ticket (book) -- yay! Enjoy some scrumptious food on a stick (book) -- yum! Visit your favorite animals at the livestock barn (book) -- noisy! Take a spin on a midway ride (book) -- whee! And of course, snacks on a stick!

Join Ellen Ferrari for 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.
