Kids Club: Papel Picado

Your child will discover the vibrant Mexican craft of papel picado—intricate perforated paper art—while learning about el Día de Muertos, the Day of the Dead. During this one-hour session, kids will create their own papel picado designs that celebrate people who are meaningful to them. Depending on your child's age and maturity level, this is also a chance to explore how different cultures honor and remember loved ones who have passed away. This program is designed for school-age children in kindergarten through fifth grade and is part of the library's Hispanic and Latin Heritage Month celebration. Kids will leave with a handmade craft to take home. The session runs for one hour and takes place at the Knoxville branch of Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh.
