Kids' Creative Wreaths

This kid-oriented wreath workshop will have lots of materials available, warm drinks, and lots of hands-on help. We love making wreaths with kids because they are full of new ideas!

We'll go on a brief walk in the forest to choose textures and colours before making our own creations to take home. Ages 7-12 - adult helpers welcome!

100% of proceeds will be donated to Palestinian Children's Relief Fund. Suggested donation
