Join artist and Van Lier Fellow Lexy Ho-Tai to create a Kooker—a wild and wacky creature from a mysterious, playful, faraway world. Thinking about the body and using the imagination, participants will collaboratively construct large-scale puppets and costumes using found and recycled materials. Feel free to bring discarded materials from home (old clothes, bottles, cans, random trinkets, etc.) for repurposing.

At 10:30 am, join us for MADreads, which combines interactive story time and visual exploration to bring books to life. This week’s iteration welcomes kids and their families for a reading of the beloved children’s book Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak.
