๐Ÿงต Glidden Tinker Time: Clothespin Dolls

Saturday, October 11: 3-4 pm
Glidden Homestead, 921 W. Lincoln Highway, DeKalb

Step back in time and get crafty at Glidden Tinker Time!

This hands-on, guided program invites young makers to explore life in the 1870s by creating their very own clothespin dollโ€”a popular homemade toy for children in pioneer days.
Before plastic toys and battery-powered gadgets, kids used creativity and simple materials to bring their playtime to life. Using wooden clothespins, fabric scraps, yarn, and imagination, youโ€™ll design a one-of-a-kind doll just like children might have at the Glidden Homestead over 150 years ago. This activity is just $5 per child, with proceeds supporting operations of the J.F. Glidden Homestead & Historical Center. A chaperone is required.
Join us for old-fashioned fun that blends history, art, and play!

Pre-registration is required. For more information contact Jessi@gliddenhomestead.org or call 815-756-7904
