Get creative at home with Cottonwood Art Festival ArtStop To-Go kits that include for four popular crafts that your kids will enjoy. Pre-order the to-go box by September 15 for $15 and you’ll receive supplies for four fun hands-on art projects.

The first craft is “Canvas Classics” that is designed to engage the artist within every child who loves to mix colors, boldly layer paint with a brush, and create a masterpiece all their own. The second craft is “Crazy Cool Caps” to be custom fitted to their own head by constructing with butcher paper and designing the details using pizzazz-like pieces. “Clay Creations” is the third craft and kids use a rolling pin (not included) or similar object, like a metal water bottle or their mighty powerful hands, to flatten the polymer clay or shape into a figurine, tiny vessel, or poke holes to thread a string. Clay teaches children how to form sculptures and work with a movable medium.  And last, but monstrously messy and exciting, is the “Tie Dye Monster!”  It’s a simple coffee filter creation but frightfully fun for everyone.

 

Boxes can be pre-purchased through September 15 and available for pick up September 28 through October 4 at Heights Recreation Center located at 711 W.
