Friday Craft Kit: Earth Day Pendant

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.

Below you'll find links to their lists broken up by grade level. Whether you know an avid reader who always...
