Kids ages 7-11 can combine creativity and engineering at the library’s new crafting station! Create something new each month. Supplies and instructions will be available at the library to work at your own pace.
February - Color Magic!
Draw a simple design on the front of a paper towel, with hidden colors on the layer behind. Hang in the window for hints of color, or drop into a little water to watch the secret colors seep through! Makes a fun gift.
March - Swoop and Dive Bird ‘Kite’
Decorate and fold a simple bird design, then attach a string and get ready to swoop and soar!
April - Feed the Frog Origami Game
Use simple origami to make your frog, then attach a string tongue and see if you can catch the fly in this adaptation of the classic cup and ball game.
May - Bracelet Weaving
Choose some bright, colorful yarn, and create a woven bracelet using a simple cardboard loom. Give to a friend, or enjoy it yourself! Easy-to-follow instructions and repetitive steps make this a great craft to take along.
