Did you know that inside every bug is an artist? It’s true, the artist is just really small, so it’s hard to see them. But we can help them strut their stuff and get in touch with their creative side with just a few drops of water. So, come on down to Posseclay Shelter and help us teach our little buggy friends how to paint and take home your own tiny masterpiece. Bugs will not touch paint during this activity.
