What treasures can you find in nature? Seeds, dried flowers, stones, shells, wood, and more become your art supplies in this hands-on workshop inspired by the colors, shapes, and textures of the natural world! Choose the pieces that catch your eye, then mix, match, thread, and arrange them to create your very own hanging nature mobile. There’s no one way to make it, so let your imagination run wild and discover just how much nature can give us to create with.

This event is a ticketed Create! featured workshop. All featured workshops require a free ticket to attend due to limited seating. Tickets may be picked up at the Info Booth in Children’s Alley; a standby line will be available for each workshop in the event a ticketed attendee does not show up.
