For The Kids!

  Children’s Activities at Painting Purcellville Green

We’re expecting a busy day at the Children’s Activities corner of the 

4^th Painting Purcellville Green sustainability event!

The directors of the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy’s popular youth Nature Camps will lead small groups on mini nature explorations of downtown Purcellville.

The 5 R’s -- a group of Round Hill youth dedicated to the principles of reduce, reuse, recycle, repair, and repeat – will help children create whimsical and wearable arts and crafts made from recycled materials, including crayons, bottle caps, bottle cap magnets, and soda tab chains

A representative of Master Gardeners will offer a Worm Bin Composting demonstration with handouts on how to create a household composting center. Children will be invited to interact with the wriggling worms and shred paper for them to munch.

A representative of the Newton Marasco Foundation will be testing children’s knowledge of the environment in a hilarious Jeopardy-style game called  Eco-Logic.  They will also hold an environmental book raffle.

The Round Hill Arts Center will be back this year with its popular face painter and 

other activities for children.

And the challenging Recycle Toss game will be back, too, with prizes for good aim!
