Service-Learning Proposal Description

Briefly describe the project and the community need to be addressed.

Answer Messy sensory play can be extremely important in a child's development. This class 5 week class will allow parents and children to create, play, and interact with their child while getting messy and having fun! Messy Makers will be a mixture of art activities and messy exploration to increase sensory play into your child's day. No class July 3. Session 1= June 12-July 17 Session 2= July 24-Aug 21.
