Hello,

Welcome to Summer Reading weekly craft. This week we are making a dragon friend and craft kits are available for pick up at the library.

• Cut out your wings and ears. Have an adult help you slice small slits to insert your wings and ears.

• Add the eyes, pom poms, teeth, and poke your green pipe cleaners where you want some spikes. Stack your tissue paper and make cuts to about 2 inches from the end. Roll the tissue paper into a tube and (insert it into the noodle… no glue needed). Enjoy your fire breathing dragon.

Hello,

Welcome to Summer Reading weekly craft. This week we are making The Art of Story paintings and craft kits are available for pick up at the library. If you can’t make it in, here is a list of materials: Canvas, paint, paintbrush, shells, glue.

• Divide your canvas into three sections for sky, water, and sand. Be sure to leave enough room on the sand area to add your “footprints” and shells.

• Paint your sky, water and sand. Mix the blue and green for an ocean green color. Let dry completely.

• Apply a small amount of brown paint to the side of your hand. Press onto the sand area for footprints and use your fingers to print the toes. ** Test your footprints on a piece of paper before you apply them to your canvas.

• OPTIONAL-Apply craft glue where you’d like your sand and shell. Add sand first and then shells. Keep flat while drying.
