Hope Orchard’s Apple Stamps at the Coastal Children’s Museum Saturday September 13th

Event has passed

 

Rockland- September at the Coastal Children’s Museum is all about apples and to help with any apple needs for the month, Hope Orchards donated 20 pounds of their wonderful produce to the museum.  On Saturday September 13th at 11am, museum visitors will be using this fab fruit to decorate a charming natural tote bag. Using the apple as a stamp, this workshop will be fun for all ages and is included in the price of admission and free for members.

“You’d be surprised how many ways you can use an apple, apart from eating it, “  says Program Coordinator for the museum Megan Rogers. “As a stamp you can replicate the perfection of the apple itself, highlight the star that appears when you cut through the middle, or you can use it as a base to create your own design.”   She adds, “We are so grateful to Hope Orchards for so generously donating all the apples for our programming this month. We’ll be using them for taste testing, for applesauce making, and also to explore weights and measures.”

Located at 75 Mechanic Street in Rockland, the Coastal Children’s Museum is home to over 20 hands-on exhibits and dedicated to its mission to provide an opportunity to explore, discover, and learn, through play, about the natural world, the arts and sciences, and the diversity of Maine’s coast.  For more information and to sign up please call the office at 596-0300 or email info@coastalchildrensmuseum.org
