This month, we will learn about Leonardo da Vinci and create a recycled sketchbook.

Leonardo da Vinci filled notebooks with sketches and inventions long before he was famous. Kids will learn a little about his life, build their own sketchbook from recycled materials, and try simple sketching techniques to fill the first few pages. Then, they can take their new sketchbook home!

This program gives school-aged kids a chance to discover new techniques, experiment with different materials, and express their creativity. All supplies are provided.
