Kids Flower Crown Workshop with Bea Jenkins, MS, OTR/L

Led by Bea Jenkins, Pediatric Occupational Therapist and Flower Farmer. Children will create their own flower and greens crown using construction paper, double-sided tape, decorative supplies, and harvested/foraged greens from The Bea Hive, a local organic flower farm in Milan, MI. This guided activity uses simple, step-by-step visual instruction to support hands-on creativity and skill-building. Adult supervision and support are required for younger children or those who cannot complete the craft independently. Without adult support, It is best suited for children 3rd grade or older with appropriate frustration tolerance and skills required for fine/visual motor skills (i.e stapling, taping, writing, and following multi-step directions without any additional support or redirection).  All materials are provided, and participants will leave with a wearable crown. 

Free; max 20 kids.
