Trash to Treasure Kits
Cut down on waste and help support our children’s art programs by purchasing one of our fun DIY kits. All kits are made from donated materials and assembled by our amazing volunteers. Below are some of the kits you might find in our studio. Please keep in mind that no two kits are exactly alike, and that’s what makes them special! Take your kit home and make art that’s as unique as you are. And don’t be afraid to add other recycled materials that you find around the house.
