2024 Creature Carnival

Ages 2 – 18
When you hear the word “creature,” what comes to mind? We would love to see it! Create an original creature inspired by your own imagination. Judges will award bonus points for entries with a creature’s name and a brief description. We're hosting a Drop-in & Create session with all the supplies your child needs to let their imagination run wild!
