All supplies are provided, so children and their grown-ups can simply drop in during the three-hour window, choose a project and take home a finished present ahead of the holidays. The city describes it as perfect for all ages, with the rule that children must be accompanied by an adult. It works well for preschoolers with a parent's help as well as for school-age kids who want to craft something themselves. More details and any sign-up are on Troutdale Recreation's registration site. ## Similar picks in Portland - [Gingerbread Houses / Casitas de Jengibre — Cornelius Public Library](https://grassyknees.com/portland/activities/gingerbread-houses-casitas-de-jengibre-cornelius-public-library--listing-0ea4efd546778b69949f391c) — Fri, Dec 18 · 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM · Cornelius Public Library · All ages · checked Oct 20.
