We Bring the Play and Materials to You

Growing Art: Exploring Nature's Beauty

 

Join us for a popup play session where little ones can discover the magic of art and nature! Inspired by The Blended Garden's mission, we'll use natural materials like bok choy ends and paint to create beautiful begonia-inspired art. Children will explore the connection between nature, and creativity, developing their fine motor skills and imagination.

Get ready for an engaging experience! We’ll provide the materials and sprinkle in some magic, while you bring the crowd—small or large. From the tiniest tots to the wisest elders, we’re all set to have fun! Play can happen anywhere—your front stoop, a wide-open field, a lush wooded forest, or even your kitchen! We can’t wait to pop up and play with you and your amazing community!

Lyrics

Well, I think it's fine, building jumbo planes
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train
Switch on summer from a slot machine
Yes, get what you want to if you want
'Cause you can get anything

I know we've come a long way
We're changing day to day
But tell me, where do the children play?

Well, you roll on roads over fresh green grass
For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas
And you make them long, and you make them tough
But they just go on and on, and it seems that you can't get off

Oh, I know we've come a long way
We're changing day to day
But tell me, where do the children play?

Well, you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air
But will you keep on building higher
'Til there's no more room up there
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?

I know we've come a long way
We're changing day to day
But tell me, where do the children play?
