Roaring Youth Jam is a youth arts festival held every year on the Greenbelt in Idaho Falls. Local businesses or groups sponsor a tent that hosts a craft or activity. My sister, Kalene, and I loaded up our stollers and took the munchkins downtown for some wild and crafty fun. We hit the greenbelt about 10:15 so that we could beat the summer heat. Our kids had a blast. Here Tal checks out his lion from face painting.
At noon we took a break to spread our blanket, eat our PB and J's, and watch the Printz Dance Project. It was an interactive class so Abi, Gabby, Tal, Sterling and Kirsten joined in and put on the moves.
Glitter and glue was the theme of the day. Here the kids decorate paper bag hats. After each craft we mommies got to delicately hold each sticky treasure until it dried enought to put it into each child's designated bag.
One of their favorite booths was the graffiti wall. They weren't old enough to use the spray paint ( 10 years) and we missed the fake ID booth that the smart mouth guy running the booth mentioned so they had to make do with regular paint. Abi has pink of course.
Tal is making a sea creature to fasten to a net mural.
Abi can really work it with a hula hoop. Even this huge hoop didn't slow her down much. We all enjoyed Roaring Youth Jam and will look forward to more glue and paint next year.
