Create a Decoupage Box! (GR 6+)
Meet us at EB Create and design your own decoupage box. Decoupage is a craft technique in which the artist attaches paper decorations to a hard surface with a clear drying glue. Some people call decoupage "painting with paper," because once the design is dry they can truly look painted on!
An example of a decoupage is pictured. Keep in mind that it does not have to have a floral pattern. We will have paper in all colors and designs so that you can express your own personal style.
Mad Science: Digging for Dinos!
Thursday, August 8
Two sessions to select from! Pick 10:00 or 11:00
For ages 3, 4, 5, and 6 with an adult.
Kids are introduced to the differences between meat-eating and plant-eating animals. They have the opportunity to look at some dinosaur teeth up close and work as paleontologists, by participating in a mini dinosaur dig that engages their attention and helps them improve their scientific knowledge.
Mad Science: Optical Illusions!
Monday, August 5 at 10:00
Kids entering grade 1-5 can learn about the eye, how we see, and why our eyes are so easily tricked. They will also discover that water drops can mimic lenses, which can be used to magnify or shrink images. The use of mirrors in optical illusions is easily understood after students build their own periscopes.
