☘️ The cutest little clover in the patch! ☘️

Miss Evelyn had a great time with a St. Patrick’s Day craft during her recent HANDS visit!

Craft time isn’t just for fun. It’s also a chance for parents and kids to slow down, connect, and create something special together. From building fine motor skills to boosting creativity, simple crafts can make a big impact on growing minds.

If you are a new or expectant parent and would like more information about the HANDS program, give us a call at (606) 663-4360.
*Families must be enrolled during pregnancy or before a baby is 90 days old.
