About this Event
The holidays can be stressful enough. This craft afternoon is meant to be fun, silly, and just a little ridiculous! Join Dash of Creativity at Rockingham Brewing Company in Derry, NH, for a relaxed afternoon where your biggest decision is whether your dinosaur needs a Santa hat, a scarf, or both.
Between shopping, decorating, family gatherings, and endless to-do lists, the holidays can become overwhelming. This afternoon is about taking a break from all of that. No expectations, complicated techniques, or pressure to create a masterpiece. Just festive dinosaurs, easy crafting, good company, and a casual afternoon at the brewery.
You'll create colorful Christmas dinosaur foam crafts using Santa hats, scarves, presents, ornaments, candy canes, and other festive accessories. Mix and match the pieces and give your dinosaurs their own personalities. Because apparently, what Christmas has been missing is a Tyrannosaurus rex wearing a Santa hat.
A Little Creativity Is Good for Your Mental Health
Creative activities can support mental well-being by encouraging relaxation, mindfulness, and social connection. Working with your hands, laughing, and spending time with others can provide a welcome break from everyday stress. Not everything needs to be productive or useful. Sometimes doing something completely ridiculous is exactly what your brain needs.
We're not claiming foam dinosaurs can solve all your problems, but an afternoon of creativity, laughter, and good company might help you unwind. No crafting experience is needed! Dash of Creativity provides the materials, examples, and guidance. Work at your own pace, enjoy a beverage, and see what kind of dinosaurs you create. Want yours wearing three Santa hats and an unnecessarily dramatic scarf? We support your creative decisions.
Your dinosaurs can become holiday decorations, funny handmade gifts, or simply something you made because you felt like it. The goal isn't perfection. It's enjoying something wonderfully silly.
Dinosaurs Aren't Just for Kids
You don't need to bring a child to justify making a foam dinosaur in a Santa hat! Adults deserve opportunities to play, laugh, and create without worrying about being productive. Come on your own, bring friends, plan an afternoon date, or gather a group. If you appreciate the humor of a prehistoric creature celebrating Christmas, you're qualified to attend.
We'll be crafting at Rockingham Brewing Company in Derry, NH. Enjoy the brewery atmosphere, grab a beverage, catch up with friends, and make a few festive dinosaurs. Beverages and any available food are purchased separately and aren't included with your ticket. Participants are encouraged to support our host venue when possible. Alcohol purchases are not required.
