Create Your Own Cigar Box Crankie: A Storytelling Workshop

Step into the world of imagination and old-fashioned storytelling! In this hands-on workshop, kids will create their very own cigar box crankie—a miniature moving theater inside a box. Using drawings, collage, and simple mechanics, participants will bring a story to life as a scrolling panorama. We’ll explore how pictures and movement can help tell tales in exciting new ways, and everyone will leave with a crankie they can perform at home. No experience necessary—just bring your creativity and love of stories! *This program will be held in the Pocket Park under the tent.
