Acton Academy: Discover the magic of creativity with our “Thumb Buddies” arts and craft activity! Here, children press their thumbprints onto a canvas, embarking on an imaginative journey to transform these prints into fabulous, wearable art. Each thumbprint becomes the centerpiece of a unique, enchanting character, reflecting your child’s creativity and flair. It’s more than just a fun activity; it’s a special keepsake that they’ll cherish and proudly wear. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness this burst of creativity and awesomesauce in action!
