A Little Scary

Building dioramas is a time-honored tradition for kids of all ages, but as the dioramas get more complex, some of those kids lose sight of how to make them. Today and tomorrow at the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys, children will have a chance to learn how to make intricate Halloween-themed dioramas out of repurposed materials.
