In the spirit of Valentines Day, we will be making beautiful Mexican Tin Heart Mirrors (aka. hojalata)! This is quite a unique project and a rare opportunity for kids to learn about how to make this special folk art that is rich in Mexican cultural tradition. Personally, I happen to LOVE the way this craft looks and you and your kids will too!

I’m throwing out a day and time here that works for me and I am hoping that the people who would like to participate are available. Let me know if it does. Ages 4-10 yrs. As usual, snacks provided.
