Community Creationships
Be on the Kids' Pick Banner!
This is not an ‘event’ but an ongoing opportunity. We are working with Maine kiddos to create a banner for the Kids’ Pick Awards put on by Real Maine Mom in May. We are so grateful for the young makers who have helped us with the letters for the banner or who have volunteered to have their photos on it- we’d like a few more photos- the process is free and easy and just requires a caregiver’s consent.

Feb. VaCREATION!
Sticking around for February Break? Us too! Doesn’t mean we can’t have fun- our imaginations and creativity are virtual passports into unlimited adventures. Join us for Feb VaCREATION on Friday Feb 20. Sign up for one of three time slots: Noon, 2:00 pm or 4:00 pm. Tickets are $12/maker or $20 for a buddy pass (2 makers). Those under 16 must have a caregiver on site. However, there will be a designated area for folks to relax, use wifi, read, enjoy a cup of coffee etc. This means caregivers or supports can choose to get a ticket themselves and create as well or hang out for free and take the time to do something else. Caregivers of little ones who will only be assisting your little one with a project do not need to pay for a ticket. During the 75 minute session, we welcome you to make community connections and get creative, using our wide array of craft supplies. We are here for encouragement and assistance to make your vision come true. We will have supplies to make some of our signature Creationship projects (see Creationship Menu) plus more!
