Fun for Kids and ‘Tweens
The Friday Preteen Project returns tomorrow from 6 to 8 p.m. through Project Most, which holds enrichment and social activities for kids and teens at the Most Holy Trinity School on Meadow Way in East Hampton. There will be games, arts and crafts, sports, themed activities and contests, and pizza and drinks, all free of charge, for kids in grades five through eight.
Project Most is also seeking kids 3 to 6 for a super important scientific expedition — the Ice Melt Mission — in which participants will test ways to melt ice to “free” the “creatures” that are trapped in it. The time is 11 a.m. to noon and the cost is $25 per person.
Also Saturday, kids 4 to 12 can turn ordinary wooden boxes into personalized treasure chests from noon to 1 p.m. All supplies are included; the workshop costs $25 per person.
Additional sessions of Project Most’s popular stop-motion animation workshop happen on Tuesday from 3:45 to 4:45 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 30, from 1 to 2 p.m., and the first three Tuesdays in December from 3:45 to 4:45 p.m. Kids 5 to 14 years old can experiment with objects, characters, and sounds to make their own Claymation-style movies. Typically, students need between three and five sessions of the class to create a finished project; each session costs $25. They should take their own flash drives to save projects and take them home to share with friends and family.
Registration for all Project Most programs is online at projectmost.org.
