Celebrating Wild Artists!
We’re giving away a limited number of free Wild Art kits on November 28 & 29, 2020.
Kits include materials for all of the activities on this page! The items in these kits were selected because they are reusable multiple times, in multiple ways! Sometimes kids art projects generate a lot of waste. But art can be both creative and sustainable. Even if you didn’t snag a cool kit, most of the materials in these kits are household items or are available online.
We want to hear how you reduce, reuse, or recycle the items in your kit! Tell us online by using the hashtag #BZWildART!
*Register Now to receive your free art kit (30 per day/one per household). Join us for a live, art-themed story time each day at noon for some extra art-themed fun! Registrations required to receive your kit, as supplies are limited.
These art kits and our art story time are supported, in part, by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. The Division promotes Delaware arts events on DelawareScene.com.
