Art in the Park - Easy Snake crafts for kids of all ages!

Each month we get together with Miss Maribeth from Scribble n Splatter for our momstown  Art and Play Program. For the summer months we decided to move it outdoors and do Art in the Park. When doing crafts outdoors, you really need to keep it simple. Keeping the supplies to a minimum is key for easy transporting and less of a chance of forgetting anything. You also need to take the elements into consideration - especially the wind! We planned on making snakes to go with our desert theme.

The kids enjoyed running around the park dragging their snakes along slithering through the grass. It was a fun event that even helped some mamas get over their fear of snakes! Join us next month when we discover birds for our Art and Play session!
