Think outside the lines! In this creative challenge, kids will be given mysterious partial shapes and must turn them into something completely new. It’s not about what it looks like—it’s about what it could be! Perfect for curious minds ages 6–11.
Put your imagination to the test in Shape Shifters: The Drawing Mystery! In this open-ended art challenge, kids ages 6–11 will receive odd, abstract, or incomplete shapes and be tasked with transforming them into something totally unexpected. A half-circle might become a hat—or a spaceship. A squiggle might be part of a dragon—or a bowl of spaghetti! There’s no right answer—only creative thinking, wild ideas, and artistic surprises. This activity encourages kids to look beyond the obvious and see everyday shapes in entirely new ways. It’s like solving a mystery… with markers!
All supplies provided. Just bring your imagination.

The Children’s Library’s grounds are integral to the entire facility’s program. A greenhouse and teaching garden helps children learn about growing healthy foods as well as provide produce that are used in the teaching kitchen programs. The grounds reflect the topography of Arkansas’s ecosystems, from the native hardwood trees in the highlands to vegetation of the wetland areas, which are both planted and original to the site. Walking paths offer families an attractive place for exercise while learning the names of the trees and plants, and an amphitheater has seating for outdoor programs or nature watching.
