Sea Shell Art with New Alternatives for Children 09/24/2025

We had a super spe-shell 🐚 day with the New Alternatives for Children kids today! We helped this crafty group turn natural shells into Ninja Turtles, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and secret troves for hidden messages.

Our wonderful activity guide, Elana Amity, answered curious questions like, “how do the animals make their shells?” and explained how shells can be many different creatures’ homes over the course of their time in the sea.

Huge thanks to our Event Director Lisa LaBracio forĀ coordinating the many moving parts to this event, and to our pro artist Ink Well Kids volunteers,Ā Mike Burns, Jason Chatfield, and Tim Savage.

And thanks to Blick Art Materials for helping us share art kits with each of the kids so they can keep on keeping on all these groovy shell creations! ā¤ļø
