Shaker Heads & Swirly Spinners

 

Shaker Heads 
Get creative and make some noise! Kids will design their own fun, wacky characters using paper cups, dried beans, googly eyes, and colorful decorations. Once complete, shake them to bring your Shaker Head to life with sound!

Swirly Spinners
Spin, swirl, and watch the colors blur! Kids will decorate a paper disc, thread it with string, and set it in motion. Give it a few twists, pull the string, and let G-force do the rest for endless spinning fun!

The Women's Fund Mission:

The mission of The Women’s Fund is to provide Houston area women, and girls, with the tools they need to be advocates for their health - because health is a resource for everyday life and not just the objective of living. Resiliency is a key strategy to empowering individuals and communities to either increase or decrease long-term health outcomes; therefore, The Women's Fund teaches resiliency skills to increase self–efficacy, decision-making, goal setting and communication, and resourcefulness to ensure positive health outcomes for individuals and communities.
