I had to volunteer for Toddlerpalooza if only because I loved the name. Sponsored by the Barnes Foundation, Toddlerpalooza was an event for young children to try their hand at making art. I was there with ColorWheels community art program run by Fleisher Art Memorial.

Our project involved gluing pieces of colored paper to pre-cut shapes.


We brought plenty of paper and glue sticks,

Making a painter’s palette seemed appropriate.

Giant Lego looked like fun.

Daniel Tiger made an appearance.

As did The Clay Studio. Who doesn’t like to play in mud?

There was also a balloon artist. I got this mouse for Boris.
