Children will step into a world of festive fun, creativity, and holiday cheer at Santa’s Workshop & the Island of Misfit Toys. Families can sign up for a time between 12 PM and 4 PM, during which children build and paint their own wooden toys with the help of cheerful “elves,” who are student volunteers. Santa Claus himself will also make an appearance, giving children the chance to share their wish lists and take a photo with him. The event is donation-based, making it accessible to all families. All proceeds benefit local youth programs and holiday initiatives. Registration required: Each child must be signed up in advance, through the website or by stopping by The Foundry Art Gallery. Suggested donation: $15 per child (non-refundable), payable at the link here or in person at the Arts Council during gallery hours (Wednesday–Friday, 12–5 PM; Saturday, 10 AM–3 PM).
