Happy Horse Faces
This craft is a favorite of the preschool set. Each child takes a pre-cut cardstock-paper horse head and draws the eyes, nose, and mouth, as well as any other designs they wish, in crayon. Next, they use pieces of yarn and glue sticks to add a “real” mane!

                                                                 Horse Magnet
This is one of our most popular crafts! Children each receive a plain wooden horse cut-out, complete with a magnet glued on the back. All they have to do is paint it in whatever way they choose! The children then bring their creations home to stick on the refrigerator to remind them of their special day. Ages 3 & up

                                                        
                                                           Real Painted Horseshoe
For children, getting a real horseshoe, worn by a real Standardbred racehorse, is an extra-special treat! The shoes are cleaned and nails removed by our staff prior to the party. The children then paint the horseshoes in whatever way they wish. Shoes will vary in shape and size - no two shoes are exactly alike! On the back of each shoe is the name of a horse currently racing, so when they get back home, they can check the paper to see how "their horse" is racing. Ages 3 & up.
                                                       

                                                                   Beaded Horseshoe Necklace
First introduced during our 2001 Winter Program, this craft has quickly become a hit. Each child receives a pipe cleaner, bends it into the shape of a horseshoe, and strings it with colorful pony beads. A piece of yarn is then tied to each end of the “shoe” to make a necklace, ornament, or (with translucent beads) even a sun-catcher! Glow-in-the-dark beads are available, too! This craft is lots of fun and mess-free.  Ages 4 & up.

                                                                                 Tiny Tack Trunk
Each child receives a small wooden box (complete with a hinged lid and latch) to paint in any way they choose. These miniature “tack trunks” are perfect for storing tiny treasures. They are even the right size to use as an accessory for model horses. Ages 4 and up.

                                                                              Tissue Paper Pony
A 3-D delight! Children get to squash, mash, and crush small pieces of tissue paper and then glue them inside a pony outline on cardstock paper. The fluffy, filled-in effect is attractive and fun! Ages 6 and up.
