What do you get when you mix kids, dirt and Crisco? No, not a mammoth mess—you get a mammoth masterpiece! The 9-12-year-old program this morning learned about Maria de Sautuola, a Spanish girl who, at the age of eight, found the first known cave paintings. Then they mixed their own dirt paint from different shades of soil and Crisco (the modern subsitute for animal fat) and set to work using sticks and their fingers to create a cave art mural.Sound like fun? Join us tomorrow for Prehistoric Painting for 6-8-year-olds. Next week's 9-12-year-old program is all about storytelling—stop in at the library and sign up today!
