[Workshop Share-Out] Patterns in the Park with Beautiful Symmetry

This was what we had set up for our symmetry in the park day and it went pretty well.

Lessons learned

  • Try to print everything before you put them on the table. The pine cones were so underwhelming.
  • Stamp pads are messy and color contamination is a thing… can you clean them?
  • For the littles we just let them make prints we let them play and tried to explain symmetry as best we could. For the bigs I gave them challenges and tasks to create symmetry (of course I didn’t get a picture of that part of the display)
  • HAVE WIPES HANDY!! Both for you, your patrons, and general ink messes (see the stamp pads are messy … 'cause I still have stamp ink on my fingers)

Overall we had about 200 (or more) people visit and I feel it was a successful program.
