In 2026, the Santa Ynez Valley Children’s Museum will host a monthly Pop-Up Craft Day at one of three community locations. We’re already confirmed at Dare 2 Dream Farms in Lompoc and the Santa Ynez Valley Botanic Garden in Buellton, with one more location coming soon!

Each event welcomes 20–25 kids for a hands-on day of creativity — crafting projects inspired by nature. From fairy wands made with flowers to painting garden-fresh eggs, every activity helps children explore, imagine, and connect with the world around them.

Your donation makes these magical moments possible by covering the cost of:

Art materials
Tables and supplies

How You Can Help

$25 sponsors one child's full craft experience
$100 sponsors four children
$500 sponsors an entire pop-up event

Your support helps us bring nature to kids who may not have it in their everyday lives — giving them the chance to explore, create, and experience the joy of making something with their own hands.

Thank you for helping us keep creativity “popping up” all year long!
