Alebrijes are colorful Mexican folk art statues of fantastical creatures. Let's explore this art form and make an alebrije of our own. Registration required.

What is brightly colored, has lots of patterns, and is part dog, butterfly, and scorpion?  An alebrije, of course! Let's explore these fantastical Mexican folk art creations and create a Shrinky Dink version of our own.
