ArtiKids Area: Children of all ages will have the opportunity to head under the sea at ArtiGras in the ArtiKids area which this year has an ocean theme. Kids can build sea sculptures from recycled materials courtesy of Resource Depot or make under the ocean creatures in the Macaroni Kid tent. After getting their face painted, children can stroll over to the South Florida Science Center’s booth to go through a shark tooth lab and then create coffee filter jellyfish and fruit loop fish art.
Next, your child can create part of a coral reef in the Lighthouse Center for the Arts’ coral reef project, while they make shark tooth necklaces courtesy of Loggerhead Marinelife Center. Kids Need More Art will have a craft area too where your budding artist can make fish hats, a mermaid photo stand or a gyotaku fish print. If stamping is more their speed, the Armory Art Center has an activity where your child can stamp out a underwater scene from the deep. Other participating organizations in the ArtiKids area include i9 Sports, Professor Clark the Science Shark, Hometown Bridges, Rock ‘N Faces, and Small Fish, Big Fish.
