Since 2002, activities for children have been provided at the St. Louis Pagan Picnic. As our community grows and changes, and more families attend local events, it is just as important that we provide stimulating activities for our children just as we provide them for the adults. Our children are our future, as one song says, and we take this literally. If you have children, please plan on bringing them to the Picnic. We will have activities for all ages.
And back by popular demand, our Children's Parade with world percussion ensemble Joia will once again happen on the second day of Picnic. This is something we look forward to every year. The children are encouraged to create noisemakers at a special workshop,a dn to bring them and play them during the parade.
All Kidzone activities are sponsored by the Pagan Playground and Chicken Scratch Productions. Donations are accepted to offset the costs of Kidzone activities. We collect both in-kind and cash donations. Any cash donations collected that are not used for Kidzone activities will of course be put in the Pagan Picnic general fund to pay for other Picnic expenses. And as with many public activities, we couldn't do it without our volunteers! If you can donate an hour to help with our activities, it would be greatly appreciated.
Noon
Make-It-And-Take-It Drums and noisemakers for our littlest ones. This workshop
is designed for those four and under. Parental participation is required. This
workshop will be led by some of our community's maidens, who have a strong
belief in giving back to the community whenever they can.
1:00 p.m.
Make Your Own Sit-Upon - Girl Scouts have made these for years; there's nothing
worse than heading to a ritual, picnic, or other outdoor event and getting your
hiney all damp from sitting on the ground. Our five to eight year olds will
make their own vinyl Sit-Upon.
2:00 p.m.
Making a Fairy Seeing Stone - Our 9 and ups will be working with artist Mickie
Meuller to make Fairy Seeing Stones. Most children will recognize their use
from the more recent Spiderwick Chronicles, but they are much older than that.
