This month, we’re making waves with eco-friendly sea-themed crafts that spark creativity and celebrate sustainability. Perfect for kids ages 5 and up, these ocean-inspired projects use reclaimed materials in fun and surprising ways. Aquatic Adventures Projects include: Cork Boats – Float your own tiny vessel crafted from corks, rubber bands, and scrap materials, ready to set sail in any puddle or sink! Carton Cod – Transform humble egg cartons into colorful fish with personality, using paint, paper scraps, and googly eyes. Jumping Jellyfish – Create bouncy jellyfish using recycled skateboard wheel shavings and string. Watch them wiggle and jiggle with life! Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a curious landlubber, there’s something for everyone at Crafternoons. Come craft, create, and explore the deep blue with us! Cost: $8.00 per person. Crafternoons are for kids ages 5 and up. Please note that our workshop is located upstairs and utilizes hot glue guns. Adults must remain in the EE Makerspace with their child. Set sail on your next crafting journey. Sign up now! We have something for everyone at the EE Makerspace, so bring the kiddos— Crafternoons are just for them.
