FALLS VILLAGE — Joe Brien and his traveling workshop were at the David M. Hunt Library in Falls Village on Thursday afternoon, Aug. 16.
The mission: to teach youngsters how to make toy paddleboats.
“What’s rule number one?” asked Brien.
“Put on safety goggles!” chorused the students.
Half a dozen smallish children plus assorted parents and grandparents were on hand as Brien got the work areas set up.
