Drop In: Pine Needle Crafts

Ever wondered what you can actually make with pine needles? This hands-on session pairs creative projects with expert guidance from a naturalist. Families will have the chance to try their hand at traditional crafts like baskets and ornaments while learning surprising ways these natural materials can be used. It's a casual, drop-in format, so no advance planning needed—just show up and get crafting. This program welcomes visitors of all ages and welcomes everyone from curious kids to seasoned crafters. As a nice bonus, pine needle refreshments will be available to sample, adding a tasty twist to the afternoon. It's a great way to spend a winter Saturday exploring nature-based creativity in a relaxed, welcoming environment. If you have questions before heading over, the Nature Realm Visitors Center team is happy to help.
