Fourth of July Crafts
GET READY FOR PATRIOTIC CREATIVITY!
Join the World Chess Hall of Fame & Galleries, Saint Louis‘s premier cultural destination, for a fun, patriotic, hands-on workshop. This family-friendly program is a highlight of the local calendar and a fun way to experience chess education through creative play.
The Program: Fourth of July Crafts
Celebrate Independence Day with a Festive Craft!
In this self-led activity located at our Play & Create Space, attendees will customize their own Fourth of July decorations. You will have the opportunity to work with colorful craft supplies to create decorations you’ll keep, including pom poms, craft paper, stickers, and more.
All supplies for this self-led activity are included, and no chess experience is needed to join in!
