November Workshop at Margot’s Mercantile
Theme: Cardboard Creations
Sunday, November 16th, at 10am inside Cafe Yen.
As the season of gratitude and gathering approaches, join us for a special family workshop. Turn everyday cardboard into extraordinary creations! In this joyful, open-ended workshop, families will design and build sculptures, costumes, vehicles, creatures—whatever their imaginations dream up—using reclaimed boxes, tubes, tape, and kid-safe tools. We’ll talk simple building techniques (tabs, slots, hinges), collaborate and celebrate eco-friendly making.
You’ll get:
-
A guided intro to cardboard engineering basics
-
Time to ideate, sketch, and build BIG
-
Access to loads of materials (boxes, tubes, tape, connectors, tempera paint sticks)
-
Gentle facilitation that centers child-led creativity and collaboration
Good to know:
-
Best for ages 4–10 with a caregiver (siblings welcome).
-
This is not a drop-off; grown-ups build alongside kids.
-
All tools and materials provided.
