tattered hatters

 

Tattered Hatters

The Sowebo hat making activity is a free art activity for children of all ages. Young children have a great time decorating visors with self-stick shapes. Older children love to make princess hats, fezs and crowns. The truly dedicated “Mad Hatters” experience a real challenge and usually leave with a work-of-art. Volunteers needed for 2 – 3 hour shifts 10:30 AM – 5:30 PM. Download our PDF for info.
