Write a letter for someone you love! We'll practice how to format a letter, write thoughtful messages, and decorate envelopes with stickers, glitter, and more.

In this creative and heartfelt workshop, children will learn how to write meaningful letters to someone they care about; whether it’s a family member, friend, teacher, or even a pet! We’ll go over the basic structure of a letter and spend time crafting a personalized letter.

Once their letter is done, kids will decorate their envelopes with markers, stickers, glitter, and other fun materials to make their letter truly special. This program encourages literacy, emotional expression, and kindness—all wrapped up in a creative, hands-on activity kids will be proud to share.

Recommended for children ages 6-11. Registration is not required.
