Inspired by Jon Klassen’s heartwarming tale, “We Found a Hat,” this art-focused family workshop at The Iowa Children’s Museum invites you and your little ones to play together as you make fancy hats and sock puppets that weave a storytelling adventure. Dive into the magical world of our turtle friends, Pete and Norm, as their charming story comes to life through play and interactive storytelling. This family workshop is recommended for ages four and up.Please note that hot glue will be used in the crafting process, so parental guidance is encouraged. Siblings, caregivers, and friend groups are all welcome! Children must be supervised at all times by the grown-ups in their group. Registration is required. Family workshops at The Iowa Children’s Museum are pay-what-you-can. We encourage participants to select the cost that they can afford, or pay a little extra to support other families and future programs! Member discounts do not apply to this program.
