Fall Sensory Spice Painting at Southwest is a free, drop-in outdoor art program where children create paintings using fragrant autumn spices. This program is open to all ages and requires no prior registration, making it easy to fit into a busy afternoon. The library staff will set up the art stations in the outdoor space right in front of the main entrance, though they will move the activities inside to the children's program room if it rains. Because kids will be working directly with spices and paint, it is best to dress them in clothes that you do not mind getting dirty. It is a low-stress way to let your children experiment with sensory art without having to clean up the inevitable mess in your own kitchen. Plus, the library has a wonderful selection of books you can grab to take home once the painting session wraps up.
