A program for children ages 5 and up!

Spend time in the Colorful World of gnomes with Susie Spikol!

Enter the world of gnomes! Hear stories of these wee little folk from around the world and explore storybooks that star these little imps. Play a few traditional gnome games and then create a crew of these charming characters. Let imaginations run wild, as we make our own little beings with names and characteristics—a perfect way to open the doors to writing, art, and storytelling. Tips on how to make a gnome home are included! All materials for gnome-making provided.

This program is for children ages 5 and up and registration is required as materials and seats are limited.
Please register all children who would like to make a gnome - caregivers do not need to register but do need to attend with children under the age of 10.

For more information about Susie, visit her website!
