Join us for the cardboard challenge at Collister!  We’ll take some cardboard, cut it up, paint it, glue it, string it together, and make some wonderful kid created art.

The Global Cardboard Challenge invites kids from all over the globe to use their imagination and create something spectacular using cardboard and recycled materials. The first Cardboard Challenge took place in 2012 and was inspired by a young boy, named Caine, who created his very own arcade using boxes and recycled materials. View Caine’s Arcade at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul9c-4dX4Hk.

This program is for children ages 6-12. Please be accompanied by an adult, as there will be items used that will need supervision.
