Children's Zone with Rachael Dotson
Let your child's imagination create and perform in Tacoma Showcase's magical puppet theatre. Kid's can make their own sock puppet and then perform a story or song for their family and friends in the amazing puppet theatre. They can also put themselves on display with their own colorful paper-hat creations.

Family Pottery
Kids can squish their fingers through the clay and practice building small objects with the help of Metro Parks Instructor Cynthia Snyder. Cynthia will teach Family Pottery, Teen Pottery (on Saturdays), and Fused Glass classes this Fall.

Children's Museum of Tacoma
Degas' Dancers (mixed media puppets) - Using the dancers seen in the works of artist Edgar Degas as inspiration, kids will create amazing, twirling, silhouette puppets.
