Candy Dioramas
Students in grades 5 thru 9 are invited to create a favorite book scene, using Peeps. You can pick up a small bag of mixed candy from the library after 11 a.m., Friday, March 19. That will get you started as you add more supplies from your own pantry.
Build a backdrop from recycled cardboard, use small toys as props, and get out the art supplies to bring your book scene to life! Email us a photo of your creation to be entered into our virtual exhibit in April.
Maker Mondays
for Grown-Ups
Register online, and pick up a new project kit every month. These are simple, no prior skills needed projects, that will help you relax and enjoy being creative. It’s a great way to unplug from the chaos that is our everyday life.
