Art Project: Support Frontline Workers with the 9/11 Memorial Museum & Stars of Hope USA

 

Today would have been the 8th annual 9/11 Memorial & Museum 5kRun/Walk and Community Day in Lower Manhattan. It is an incredible event that we look forward to, every year. However, instead of hosting this amazing event, the 9/11 Memorial is encouraging families to show their support of frontline workers by decorating a Star of Hope. Download the printable HERE (link in our bio) and be sure to tag #StarsofHope to show your support.

  • Print out the Stars of HOPE paper template
  • Create your Star of HOPE using markers, crayons, pastels, chalks, and fun glittery stuff.
  • If you don’t have a printer, you can still create a virtual Star. Save the PDF below to your phone or desktop to “mark up” or use a program like Paint or Photoshop. Or just draw your own!
  • Post pictures of your Stars of HOPE on social media. Be sure to tag and share on Instagram or Facebook @911Memorial or Twitter @Sept11Memorial.

Home Depot DIY Kids Workshop (FREE)

 

Did you know that Home Depot offers free workshops for kids of all ages? The Manhattan location in the Flatiron District hosts the monthly series, on the 1st Saturday of every month. Though the location is not in Lower Manhattan, it is worth sharing, since its always a fun and worthwhile trip out of the hood.

You’ll be proud to complete this project using everything in the American Eagle kit. Learn to use a hammer, fine sandpaper, wood glue, and a Phillips screwdriver. Assemble the bird’s basic shape and its wings, then add fun stickers. Paint the piece to bring it to life, and then build the base to help your bird stand tall. All Kids Workshop attendees must be accompanied by a parent or adult at all times.

FiDi Families Insiders: Participants keep their craft, receive a certificate of achievement, a Home Depot workshop apron, and a commemorative pin (while supplies last).

Date: Saturday, November 2nd

Time: 9a – 12p

Location: 40 West 23rd Street (Home Depot)
