We hope everyone is healthy and safe at home, practicing social distancing! Understandably, we are not holding ArtROCKS! at NorthPark Center this Saturday, but we thought there might still be many of you sitting around with your kiddos looking for some fun, engaging activities. As a result, we’ve asked our usual ArtROCKS! friends to share some projects you can do from the comfort of your home!
