Adopt a Squishmallow Workshop at Yucandu Art Studio

Kids love Squishmallows! In this workshop, everyone gets to adopt a NEW Squishmallow and then paint its likeness on an 11x14 canvas with 3D glasses! Participants will learn how cool colors go back when wearing 3D glasses, and warm colors come forward, making the painting look like it's 3D. Kids get to take home the painting and Squishmallow.
