Things Crafty!

It's cold and it's National Craft Month! So ... stop by the library Wednesday from 9:30-2:30 and Thursday evening from 5:00-8:00 for some fun crafting! All materials provided. No registration required, some parental assistance may be. Crafts geared for ages 3+.

Or if you don't want to leave the house, here are some fun craft resources to keep everyone entertained:

Hands On Crafts from the Charlotte Mecklenburg Public Library, Mint Museum of Art, and the Institute of Museum and Library Science is way cool! You can craft electronically or they give you directions for the hands on variety, too. Studio 1 will take you on an exploration of clay crafting and Studio 2 has all things string, cloth, and cane.

Kid's Turn Central also has links to great craft ideas. Everything from making a paper cup to paper mache to keyboard cap magnets.

Family Fun from Disney also has some fun craft ideas! You can search for great craft ideas by age, type, and material. And there are how-to videos for some crafts! (You can also find recipes and printable from this site as well)

For more craft ideas and inspiration online, check out the Internet Public Library Kidspace Arts & Crafts page, from whence some of these crafts sites came.

Happy crafting!
