On Friday you'll be able to pick up this week's craft that celebrates the beauty of our earth for Earth Day (April 22)! Come by and pick up some air drying clay to make these very pretty pendants with flowers you can pick from your backyard or while on a walk! Roll out the clay (you should have enough for a few pendants) and press your flowers into the clay to make an impression. When you gently pull the flower away you'll be able to see the outline and details the flower leaves behind! Let the clay dry overnight. Once it's hardened you can leave it plain or paint it and then string it on a ribbon or string to wear as a necklace.

  This Friday's craft kit is all about poetry! April is National Poetry Month. When you pick up your kit at the drive through or the Children's Desk, you'll receive an envelope full of words and a book. Use the words to inspire poems or piece them to create poems made entirely out of cut out words! Need more words? Find an old magazine and cut them out yourself. How many poems can you fit in your book? Each kit also comes with an extra way to make poetry on your fridge!
