It is often difficult to visualize and comprehend how our ancestors lived. Hands-on participation in the creation of items using ancient technologies brings the whole topic to life and gives the participants a base upon which to build an understanding of where we come from. Come and learn string, bead, and rope making. Play catch, rope and dice games! Gain insights into just how much creativity and intelligence was required to survive in ancient times!
For children ages 6+ accompanied by a caregiver. Space is limited; call us at (415)485-3322 to register. This program will include a break for lunch. Please bring your own lunch!
