« Extra cheese, hold the boredom | Main | Against the wind » Wednesday, February 14, 2007Kids can leave their mark on Natick MallNATICK Does your child have an artistic streak? Or do you just want to give them somewhere to draw their masterpieces other than on the wall? Nordstrom is inviting children ages 5 to 12 to hand-paint tiles that will be permanently placed along the floors in the aisles connecting the children's departments of its new store, which opens at Natick Mall in September. But parents will have to pay $50 for each child registered and drive to Boston to participate. The first 200 registered children will be accepted to participate in painting sessions at the New England Aquarium Ocean Center at Central Wharf in Boston. Proceeds will go to the New England Aquarium Community Outreach Programs. A tile artist will teach children the proper way to paint a tile for posterity, according to a news release from the department store. Parents interested in signing up their children can call (617) 973-5206. Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and dozens of other stores will open as part of the Natick Mall expansion, set to be complete in September. -- John C.
