Animated Gardens at New Alternatives for Children 05/15/2026

The New Alternatives for Children kids got it growing on! 🌱 They nurtured colorful plants, peacocks, rainbows, pollinating bumble bees, and even panthers from clay. Then brought their characters to life using stop-motion animation.

Huge thanks to our Event Director and resident stop motion master, Lisa LaBracio for preparing this challenging, excellent activity; to our volunteers, Elana Amity, Andrea D’Aquino, Bil Donovan, Stefano Imbert, and Tim Savage for planting seeds of creativity that will grow for years to come 🪴🌷🌻

Huge gratitude also goes to Blick Art Materials for supporting all our free activities with children at hospitals and foster care centers through donated art supplies!! 💝
