Kids Club: Hojalata (Mexican Tin Art)

Your child will dive into the art of hojalata, or Mexican tin art, during this one-hour Kids Club session. Participants will explore the cultural history behind this traditional craft and learn about important elements of Mexican heritage, including Aztec patterns and traditions. The hands-on portion has kids creating their own tin art pieces by carefully tracing designs onto foil using a stylus—a satisfying introduction to this centuries-old technique. This program is designed for kindergarten through fifth-grade students and is part of the library's Hispanic and Latin Heritage Month celebration. It's a great way for kids to try something new, learn about different cultures, and walk away with their own handmade creation.
