Kids make holiday crafts, play games, explore 'gingerbread' playhouses and sing carols, and both sessions include hot chocolate and a sweet treat. The full workshop is a drop-off-length day for children 5 and older, running from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. with lunch included. A shorter mini workshop from 1 to 2:30 p.m. is for children 3 and older together with a parent. Online registration through the city's recreation site is required, and space is limited by session. ## Similar picks in St. Louis - [The Muppet Christmas Carol in Concert (St. Louis Symphony Orchestra)](https://grassyknees.com/st-louis/activities/the-muppet-christmas-carol-in-concert-st-louis-symphony-orchestra--listing-1874f10677d1f93cdeacdb5b) — Sat, Dec 12 (+1 more date) · Powell Hall (St. Louis Symphony Orchestra) · Paid · checked Oct 14.
