STEAM Seed Heart Paper Making Workshop

Celebrate creativity, science, and sustainability! Kids ages 6–12 are invited to a hands-on STEAM crafting experience at the Village Art Plaza Farmers Market. In this workshop, young makers will explore science, technology, engineering, art, and math through the magic of handmade seed paper.

In this engaging, kid-friendly session, participants will transform recycled paper into plantable seed hearts, learning how everyday materials can be engineered into something beautiful and earth-friendly. Through guided experimentation, students will explore:

• Science — What is paper made of? How do seeds sprout?
• Technology & Engineering — How do molds, deckles, and pressure help paper form?
• Art — How can color, texture, and design bring recycled materials to life?
• Math — Measuring pulp ratios, water amounts, and seed quantities.

Each child will craft their own heart‑shaped seed paper cards—perfect for Valentine’s Day, gifting, or planting at home to grow wildflowers.

This workshop is designed to inspire creativity while introducing foundational concepts in ecology and sustainable design. It's perfect for curious kids, families, and young artists who love to learn by doing.

• STEAM Craft Materials: Recycled paper pulp, wooden molds, deckles, and tools.
• Botanical Seed Mix: A blend of native wildflower seeds that attract pollinators.
• Interactive Instruction: Step-by-step guidance on the science of paper-making and how seeds germinate.
• Take-Home Creations: 2–3 custom heart-shaped seed papers ready to plant or gift.

Parents and caregivers are welcome to stay and support their young makers. Whether you're attending as a family or registering your child solo, this workshop fosters learning, creativity, and community.

Spaces are limited to ensure a hands-on, personalized experience. Bring your imagination—and get ready to craft something that grows!
