Halloween!!

After a few not-so-scary stories, pumpkins for the Halloween craft! They were decorated using a variety of techniques, materials, and lots of choice.

And our Saturday drop-in craft for October - spooky decorations lit from within by a battery-operated tea light! Have a Happy Halloween!! 

Decorating Eggs

Our April drop-in craft was decorating plastic eggs for Easter. Such colorful creativity using lots of different materials! I wish I had gotten more close-up photos!

February Events for Kids

 

November Saturday

 Lots of fun at the library today as kids and families dropped in to decorate leaves as place cards for their Thanksgiving tables. Won't relatives and friends be surprised to see their names displayed so beautifully? Such variety and imagination shown today - and fun! Happy Thanksgiving!

Spoooky Saturday!!!

On this day before Halloween we had some time for a drop-in craft at the library. Kids and adults came when they could to make ghosts or goblins from several different types of paper. Tomorrow night, these spoooky creations will be dancing wildly in the Halloween wind! 

    

LEGO Time

This summer, we've had several Tuesday afternoon drop-in LEGO times, where kids (and adults!) can stop in and build with their friends. Mr. Dowal has been available for questions - and ideas, and even Mrs. Blackey has join in on the fun! It sure is great to be together and building again! We have one more session on Tuesday, August 10. Maybe you could join us?

Family Fun!

Fun for the whole family on a Saturday afternoon at the Gordon-Nash at New Hampton School!

Independence Day

Last evening, the 3rd of July, twenty-six young patrons dropped into the Gordon-Nash Library to make a few quick crafts on their way to celebrate the holiday with their families!

Turtle Time!

Drop in anytime in the next two weeks to make yourself a colorful paper plate turtle with a tissue paper shell!

January Drop-in Craft

Isn't this penguin that Melanie made the cutest one you've ever seen? Drop in to the Children's Room this month to make one of your own to take home!

Who Are You?

Kids love Melanie's drop-in crafts, set up and waiting for them on the table in the Children's Room. October's craft is mask-making, with feathers, sequins, colored foam, and lots of other interesting embellishments!
