Take inspiration from tomte’s journey into the magical realm of ASI’s holiday exhibit Tomte Tales: Legends of Winter by creating this folkloric figure out of wool. The holiday season is known for tasty baked goods, and tomte loves treats. Felter Jen Newburg will lead kids and their adults through the process of shaping and decorating their tomte, along with an accompanying woolly treat, using the magical technique of needle felting. Using a needle to poke colorful wool into place is a fun and easy craft for all ages.
Students can choose to make a Lucia Bun (lussekatter or lussebullar) in honor of Santa Lucia Day, a swirly cinnamon bun, or a new creation from their imagination. Finish your creation by adding string to make an ornament. Students will leave with a delighted tomte and a treat perfect for hanging on the tree, a doorknob, or anywhere needing festive cheer.
