🐢🐸🐟🦀💕 POOL NOODLE CREATURES & CRITTERS 💕🦀🐟🐸🐢

Think pony beads... but GIANT!

Join us on July 22 from 10:00 AM–Noon as we turn pool noodles into fun creatures and critters using paracord and creativity! Participants can make turtles, frogs, fish, crabs, hearts, and more.

🟢 Bring 4–5 pool noodles (depending on what you would like to make)

✂️ Want to be ahead of the game? Cut your pool noodles into approximately 3-inch sections before class.

⏰ Need help cutting? Arrive at 9:00 AM and we'll help with prep before class begins.

👨‍👩‍👧 Parent Assistance Needed: Due to the difficulty of threading and assembling the creatures, children 8 and under must have a parent or guardian stay and assist during the class.

⚠️ These creations are NOT flotation devices and are not intended for use in water.
