Winter craft kits
Our kid’s craft kits are a big hit! We had them ready for Tuesday morning and all 50 were gone by Wednesday evening. We will have 50 more craft kits available each week, 25 for the preschool children and 25 that are a little more involved. There will be a different theme each week. All the materials and instructions are included in the plastic bag. All you need is some glue or tape and a little imagination. You can pick up your craft kit at the library circulation desk while supplies last.
