The Children’s Museum of Cleveland (10730 Euclid Ave., 216.791.7114) is doing its part to help move children beyond the mindsets of consumerism and disposability with workshops on homemade holiday gifts, where they’ll craft papier-mâché bowls and picture frames out of recycled materials. From 12:30-1:30 p.m., kids ages four and older can make and decorate a gift Mom or Dad is sure to love. There’s a $10 materials fee for museum members, $15 for non-members. Registration is required; call the museum for a spot. The workshop repeats on December 13. — Anastasia Pantsios
