Virtual How to Make a Piñata Rec Kit

VIRTUAL CHINESE PAPER-CUTTING DESIGNS/WINDOW FLOWER CUTTING DESIGNS Chinese paper-cutting is a folk art that originated in China around the sixth century AD. The art form is most strongly associated with China because paper was invented in the country – by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Because the cut-outs are often used to decorate doors and windows, they are sometimes referred to as window flowers or window paper-cuts. In this workshop, students will learn to make creative and fun Chinese paper cutting arts. Instructor: Emmy Lam Min: 5 | Max: 8 Location: Zoom

This Piñata Rec Kit will guide you in how to make your own piñata. You will get to create your own base, paper mâché, and decorate your very own piñata. You will also learn how to make your own glue by using common household items. Piñatas can be used as decorations, given as gifts or a fun activity for both children and adults. A pre-recorded video will also be provided. * WeRecKit will be available for pick up at Plummer Park on Saturday, August 7. Directions on picking up your kit will be emailed to you ahead of the pick-up date to explain the no contact pick up process. Last day to register: August 2 Staff: Ms. Diane Min: 3 | Max: 10
