Maker Challenge: Cardboard Winter Village

Looking for a fun and imaginative winter activity? Come help create additions to our collaborative Cardboard Winter Village in The Forge! Using nothing more than cardboard and a few simple construction tools, you can design and create your own snowy-themed addition to our growing community display. Whether you dream up a cozy cabin, a festive shop, a towering ice castle, or something wonderfully unexpected, your imagination is all you need to get started.

As the village grows with each new creation, you’ll see how creativity and collaboration can transform simple cardboard into something truly magical.

This challenge will be held Tuesday–Saturday between 10 a.m.– noon and 3:30 – 5 p.m. except for the following dates in December 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31.

Check our daily schedule for Maker Challenges occurring during your visit.
