Program Overview
Once Upon a Craft is a joyful, 30-minute monthly class designed to spark creativity and strengthen the bond between young children and their caregivers. Each session begins with a short, engaging picture book read-aloud and flows into a hands-on art or craft activity inspired by the story. No experience necessary — just curiosity and a love of making things together! Sessions will be held the first Thursday of every month, from September through May. Sign up for each session individually.
All materials are provided. Families simply show up and create.
