ACTIVE IMAGINATION ZONE
Our Active Imagination Zone is a popular area that inspires young artists by featuring hands-on art activities. Our non-profit partners create the art activity then roll up their sleeves and help our little artists make masterpieces they can take home.
Angel Halos & Magical Wands
Bring some magic to the day! At the ARTreach tent in the Active Imagination Zone, come and create your own Angel Halo and a Magical Wand.
ARTreach artists will be on hand with all the supplies you need - a large variety of colorful items such as pipe cleaners, fanciful ribbon and yarn, glittery stickers and embellishments, brightly colorful feathers, adhesive gems, beads, pom poms, and jingle bells.
There will be a focus on recycling and reusing everyday objects (bottle caps, plastic spoons, paper scraps, etc.) to create something super cool.
Each halo and wand are unique and colorful and a wonderful way to bring joy and magic to the day!

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.
An interactive, play-based activity where kids use clay and craft materials to mold the brain, heart, and other organs into imaginative creatures.
Mold Your Mind, Body, and Guts
