Tiny tots can make art with heart as part of the Crafts for a Cause project, which supports the Little Giraffe Foundation (neonatal research funding). The whole family will get a kick out of having portraits taken in the photo booth. Plus, enjoy Swirlz Cupcakes, David's Tea and an organic candy bar.
