Each kit includes supplies to complete one project. Projects may require some basic art tools that may not be provided in the kits such as markers, crayons, colored or lead pencils, paints, scissors, and hot glue.

Participants are encouraged to use their own supplies to customize their miniatures as they desire. Adult supervision is may be required for certain projects. Kits may contain small pieces and are not designed for children under 5 years old.

What to expect

Upon signing up for a project, you'll promptly receive your first set of instructions. Every month, we provide you with step-by-step instructions for a new miniature project.

You have the choice of gathering your own materials, purchasing a kit at our museum, or registering online for the program (kit included). The kit comprises all essential supplies for your project. However, basic art tools like markers, crayons, colored or graphite pencils, paints, scissors, and hot glue may be required.

IN-PERSON SESSIONS:

When attending our in-person sessions, allow 30-45 minutes to complete your project. While the program runs from 1 pm to 3 pm, you're welcome to join us at any time within those hours.

Upon arrival, check in at the front desk to receive a gold sticker, indicating your program registration. Kits and necessary art tools will be available in the classroom for your convenience.
