We are planning a fun, interactive and delicious time you won't want to miss!

Art at Home

Start out your new year with creativity! Make yourself an I Wish 2021 tic-tac-toe -- all you need is paper and something to draw with!

  • Make two lines across and two lines down, like you were getting ready to play the game.

  • In the middle write "I wish 2021."

  • Around the edges, write eight things you hope for in the new year. We hope all your wishes come true!



And check out this amazing activity from Philadelphia's Magic Gardens -- dyed pasta! They have other wonderful art videos to enjoy as well as a great website with ways to visit from home and fun activity sheets.

Happiest of New Years to our wonderful community -- we hope 2021 brings us together soon!
