Spook & Spark: Halloween Welcome Workshop

Join us for a free hands-on Halloween workshop that blends science, art, and imagination! Children ages 5-12 will create monster paper bag puppets, make slime with charms & glitter, and leave their mark on our community mural. Alongside creative exploration, kids will enjoy a short movie break, snacks, then end with a cupcake celebration and fun take-home goodies.

What we’ll do

• 🎨 Monster Paper Bag Puppet Workshop: design, glue, and bring a character to life
• 🧪 DIY Slime Station (Borax-Free): optional glitter & charms; labeled take-home container
• 🌳 Community “Leave Your Mark” Mural: add a name or drawing
• 🎞️ Educational Movie + Snack Break: fruit + caramel dip, pretzels, juice
• 🧁 Cupcake Celebration: sweet send-off for kids who stay through the full session
• 🎁 Take-Home Goodies: gift bags for RSVPed participants; mini treat packs for drop-ins (while supplies last)
