About this Event
Let's get banging! Come learn how to safely use a hammer to make a fun project out of wood. After learning how to safely use the tools to hammer nails into wood, we will make a wood and metal porcupine to practice our hammering skills. Once everyone is comfortable with the hammers, each child will make their own string instrument to take home.
