Los Alamos Kid’s Art Co-op meets at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 3 at Fuller Lodge Art Center (in classrooms above the gift shop). The Co-op is for parents with young kids (0-5) who want to do crafts with their little ones. Parents with babies are welcome as well.
“I just want a space that kids and parents can meet up and have a good time – while exposing themselves to art,” said Julia Sheppard, one of the founders.
This Thursday the Co-op is planning on making ornaments with pine cones and recycled ribbon – and whatever recycled items Co-op participants bring. Using materials such as mismatched earrings to game pieces, everyone is sure to create their own masterpiece.
The Co-op is is free but needs parents to participate by leading crafts, donating supplies or money, helping setup or cleanup.
In addition to the the free craft, this Thursday also will include a fundraiser. For $10, Fleming will take a profile picture of kid participants and turn it into a silhouette ornament that parents can pick up at a later date. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go to purchasing much needed materials such as glue and paint.
The organizers thank Fuller Lodge Art Center for donating space.
