Children’s Activity Tent

FACE PAINTINGThe Children’s programming for WaterFire Sharon Origins will focus on scientific discovery and old school fun as diverse community organizations come together to provide educational play experiences for our younger visitors.

Students and faculty from Laurel Technical Institute (LTI) and Youngstown State University will set the tone with various science laboratories and play stations.

 

Children can run experiments by making their own DNA code bracelet/backpack zipper pull or formulate their very own play dough.

IMG_4315The highlight of the Genetic Lab is the community genetics trait tree. Children (and their parents) can participate in 3 genetics trait experiments. Once they determine their traits they will receive a leaf marked with the outcomes. They’ll then place the leaf on the appropriate branch of an eight foot by four foot tree.

Join in some old fashion games likes cat’s cradle, pick-up sticks, and jacks in Fun with Dick and Jane.  Become part of the artwork in Chalk It Up.  Create your own fortune teller or football from a single sheet of paper.  Make a WaterFire lantern at the Community Art Project.

Get made up as your favorite character from Frozen and have your picture taken on stage with backdrops from the movie.  Learn about fire safety and practice escaping from a kid- sized house.   IMG_4289

Come join in the fun under the big tent.
