We all have gifts that we were born with,
gifts that we’ve brought to the world.
This makes us a gift.
We may know some of our gifts, and we may
even think that we don’t even have any gifts
at all…
BUT WE DO.
Discover your gifts in a playful art project
for the whole family to do together.
(No art experience necessary)
You’ll get to know each other in a fun way and
discover the gifts that you never knew you had.
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King’s Birthday
A GIFT for you and your family.
