Expand to see the parent tip
At this in-store Michaels session, crafters cut ornament shapes out of clay with cookie cutters. The store puts out the cutters along with paint and pieces of foliage for pressing texture into the clay. Michaels bills it as a Hallmark-inspired event.
The session is Sunday, November 15, 2026 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm and is free. The class page rates it as beginner level and sets the age at 13 and older, so it is for teens and adults rather than young children.
Parent tip: Since the listing is for ages 13 and up, save this one for a teen and take younger siblings to the Kids Club ornament painting on December 12 instead. Clay and paint are both in play, so wear something that can take a smudge.

Kids Club is the Michaels in-store craft session for children, and this one is all about painting wooden ornaments for the tree. The store hands out both the ornaments and the paint, so children only need to bring their ideas.
It takes place on Saturday, December 12, 2026 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm and is free. The class page lists it as a beginner activity for ages 4 and older.
Parent tip: Of the three holiday sessions listed at this store, this is the only one open to children as young as 4. Dress kids in clothes that can handle paint, and allow a few minutes for the ornament to dry before you carry it to the car.

The session is Sunday, December 13, 2026 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm and is free. It is rated beginner level for ages 13 and older.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.

The story of Christmas in Millbury
Millbury's Town Seal shows a mill, and with good reason: the S & D Spinning Mill has been running since around 1753 and now makes the inner parts of Major League baseballs. The Christmas listings for families in this Blackstone Valley town are hands-on too, with free ornament and journal craft sessions at the Michaels store on the Worcester-Providence Turnpike.
How Millbury celebrates
The holiday listings found for Millbury are three free in-store craft events at the Michaels store at 70 Worcester-Providence Turnpike, each described by Michaels as Hallmark-inspired. Teens and adults shape clay ornaments with cookie cutters on Sunday, November 15. The Kids Club session on Saturday, December 12 gives children aged 4 and up wooden ornaments and paint. A Holiday Junk Journal session for ages 13 and up follows on Sunday, December 13. No town-run celebration appears in the pages reviewed for this guide, so these store sessions are the listed gatherings for the season so far.
