Make a Mandala Kaleidocycle!

What's a kaleidocycle?  Good question!  A kaleidocycle is a flexible fidget toy that can be continually turned inside-out, with each rotation showing a new pattern!  We'll be coloring mandala patterns on ours and then assembling them, with the help of our awesome teen volunteers!

Drop by beginning at 4:00.  We'll clean up together at 5:15!

For kids in kindergarten and up.
