Craft Kit: Snowy Village

It probably *knock on wood* won't snow here this December, but you can create your own snowy village with this week's craft kit! Pick it up in the Children's Department or at the drive through.

 Follow along with the photos below and feel free to add your own flourishes to make your village unique! Based on the Paper Winter craft from krokotak.com



 
1. You'll need a glue stick, scissors, and markers 2. Accordion fold the bottom of the white paper



3. Stop folding about 4 inches from the top. 4. Apply glue to the first fold



5. Fold in half so the glued areas stick to each other
    
6. Your white paper should stand on its own now. 7. If you want, trim off the edges of the blue paper so they're rounded

 
8. Glue the blue paper to the back of the white to create the sky. 9. Cut squares and rectangles for your houses



10. The yellow paper can become windows or roofs or the sun in the sky! 
11. Cut trees from the green paper
12. Glue your village with the folds!

I created this blog primarily so you can find out what activities are coming up for the 11-16 age group here at the library. I'll be posting brief descriptions of our activities, photos, book reviews, and other interesting things that I happen to see. In recent news: the TAG Christmas party was December 8, and everyone worked together to make it a success. Thanks to all the hardworking volunteers! We ate holiday snacks, sang Christmas karaoke, and had a snowball fight outside! Check out the library's Flickr site for all the pictures. We're taking a brief break during the Christmas holidays, but we'll be starting up again on January 11 with personalizing snack dishes to use every week. Instead of throwing away bowls and cups after our Fr...
