Please join the Biggs Museum at one of the several family-friendly educational and holiday-related programs to be offered in December 2010.

The Free Three programs in December will be filled with holiday cheer and art! On Friday, December 3, use recycled materials and creative ideas provided by the museum to create on-of-a-kind holiday cards during First Friday. On Saturday, December 4, Biggs Kids will use collected buttons from home to create a button wreath ornament. The Museum will have plenty on hand for those who can’t find enough! On Wednesday, December 15, Mini Masters will decorate mini edible gingerbread houses with nutritious snacks like cereal, pretzels and raisings.

The Museum will host two additional free, holiday-related programs for children and families this December. On Wednesday, December 8, stop by the Museum before the Caroling on the Green event in downtown Dover for the Cocoa, Cookies & Snowmen program. Children ages 5 & up are invited to enjoy some sweets and hot cocoa and to create a snowmen ornament to hang on their tree at home. The annual Crown Decorating at First Night program returns on Friday, December 31. All children are invited to participate in this free activity to decorate a crown with all materials supplied by the Museum.

On Saturday, December 11, the Biggs Museum staff will escort a group to the Rehoboth Art League for a historic tour of the League’s campus of galleries, studios and colonial-period structures with Manager of the Homestead, Gary Hanna. Afterwards, participants can tour Rehoboth Beach’s Second Saturday gallery tour and enjoy dinner downtown. Take advantage of this bus trip opportunity to take part in shopping and art!
