Misfit Toy Workshop

Saturday December 5th

1:30-4 p.m.

5-7 yrs

Workshop Facilitator: Charlotte Rondeau (She/Her)

Celebrate the season of giving!

Bring a new, unwrapped toy or an old toy you no longer need or want to the workshop in exchange for a visit voucher to the art factory! We will be donating new, unwrapped toys to an adopt-a-family program and re-purposing old toys into new toys in future workshops.

Every registration will enable another child to participate in an art factory workshop at no charge through The Guelph Children's Foundations free to grow program.

About the workshop:

old toys get a brand new life… 

Participants will create new toys from discarded or broken toys. Stitch, glue or put them together into something completely unique! Creations will be weird, wonderful and one-of-a-kind Christmas toys you definitely won’t find anywhere else.

A gift wrapping station will ensure that these toys get a place under the tree instead of on the island of Misfit toys.
