While the Ballard Institute is closed, the museum will offer short, puppet-building and craft workshops via Facebook Live (http://facebook.com/BallardInstitute/) every Wednesday and Friday at 2 p.m. ET!
All past workshops are available on our Facebook and YouTube.
Join us on June 26 for a Trash Monster Puppet Workshop with Elise Vanase! Make a gnarly monster that looks like it came straight from the trash can (in a cool way!). Recommended for ages 8+.
Materials needed: two small cardboard boxes (granola bar boxes work well), newspaper, hot glue, masking tape, paint/markers, clean trash that can be used for decoration (plastic bags, garbage bags, bottles, cans, wrappers, etc!)
