While you Shop: Children's Holiday Puffin Workshop

Where: Art Gallery Classroom
Workshop
While caregivers catch up on holiday shopping, children, aged 8 – 11 years can get in the holiday spirit too! Create a puffin or polar bear ornament using an easy embroidery technique. We’ll be making holiday ornaments based on the animals of Newfoundland & Labrador in our museum galleries. No embroidery or sewing experience needed, just bring some enthusiasm!
What to Expect:
- We will learn embroidery stitches and techniques needed to make holiday-themed puffin and polar bear ornaments
- We will work on one ornament during the session and participants will take home materials (and skills!) to make a second ornament at home
- We’ll also enjoy some hot chocolate and a cookie, visit the Connections gallery to see the animals featured in our ornaments, and take in all the holiday decorations at the Rooms along the way.
Cost: $35 plus HST (10% Discount for Rooms Members). Limited spaces! Pre-registration required. To book your child’s space, please contact Visitor Services at (709) 757-8090.
Events & Programs
Voices from the First World War
Join us as we bring history to life through a dramatized reading of original letters and diary entries from the First World War era.
Through the words of soldiers, nurses, and those who remained on the Homefront, this program offers an intimate glimpse into the hopes, fears, and resilience of those who lived through one of the most defining conflicts of the 20th century. These authentic voices—preserved in letters and journals—reveal the deeply human side of war, from the trenches to the hearth.
Cost: $12 plus HST. Free for Rooms members. Get your tickets online or by calling (709) 757-8090.
