'Hop Into Art' ONLINE: Create a Mini Puppet Theater

Join us in family art making inspired by the childhood creative pursuits of Edward Hopper and his sister Marion. Marion often staged puppet shows and plays with help from Edward, who created a model theater and paper dolls for his sister. In this video, Bella, one of our Nighthawks Teen Leaders, shares ideas for making your own mini puppet theater at home.
