with a recommendation of
participation by children aged 5
and up. Parents may bring younger
children at their discretion, but if
children are participating, they
need to be old enough to build
their own ornaments, and
care-givers will be expected to help
children with their ornament-

hand to assist but will not be
leading the building process. If you
have any questions, contact Laura
