Homemade Holidays at Wehr Nature Center

The Wehr Nature Center, 9701 W. College Ave. in Franklin, invites you to bring your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, neighborhood gang, or scout group to Wehr to create homemade treasures from natural, recycled, and re-purposed objects. Homemade Holidays will take place on Saturday, Dec. 1st from 11:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. with the Friends of Wehr Cookie exchange ending at 4:00 p.m.

Make and take three different projects for the admission fee. Additional projects are available for a small additional cost. Projects include tree cookie coasters, pencil holders, recycled crayons, a variety of holiday ornaments, homemade wrapping paper, large pine cone holiday trees and more. Stop by anytime to make your works of art and participate in the FOW cookie exchange.

Leave the mess to us and come join the fun.

Homemade sugar cookies will be available to purchase and decorate, get a nice variety of cookies for your holiday entertaining or give them as gifts. Be a baker and exchange your favorites for additional variety. Baking participants should make 4-10 dozen cookies, packing them 6 to 12 in a bag. One dozen will be donated to the cookie sale and the rest will be included in the exchange.

Admission to Homemade Holidays is $6 per child, $5 for a Child Friend of Wehr, and adults, $1 per craft. Proceeds from the cookie sale will go to Wehr’s Accessibility Renovations. For more information go to www.friendsofwehr.org or call the Wehr Nature Center at (414) 425-8550.
