    Creation Station

    Omni Hotel
    4:15-5:30

    Creation Station is a hands-on arts & crafts activity for children. Younger kids can decorate mylar balloons, make decorative masks & crowns or create a bead necklace. Older kids will enjoy a micro-bead project, writing a message to the future and sealing it in their own time capsule, or try fashioning a colorful explosion of tissue paper to look like fireworks.

    With a supervising adult, children 5-12 will have an opportunity to help build part of our First Night mosaic made entirely of LEGO® bricks, which when completed will be displayed in the lobby of the Omni Hotel. Creation Station is very popular with the children and we make every effort to allow as many children as possible to participate. Please be patient when volunteers limit the number of children at the craft stations to allow access to materials and proper instruction. We look forward to seeing you!
