This program has supplies to be picked up at the KidSpace Youth Reference Desk at the Main Library (270 N. Grove Ave., Elgin). Program supplies will be ready for pick-up between Monday, January 23rd through Sunday, January 29th.  All registered participants will receive an email with the zoom login prior to the program date.  

If you would like to pick up the supplies at the Main Library Drive-up Window instead of inside the library at the youth desk, please call the youth desk at 847-429-4685 at least ONE HOUR before arriving at the library.

1 corrugated cardboard piece with otter parts

1 white "muzzle"

1 white 4x4 square 

2 googly eyes

1 black pompom

1 shell

1 piece of white twine

1 "Otter Trading Cards" cardstock packet

4 foam squares

Program supplies to gather at home: 

Scissors- a good pair that can cut through cardboard

Glue Stick and liquid glue (both kinds would be best)

Black & brown marker 

Colored pencils or markers

NOTE:  Please carefully cut out your otter pieces (5 cardboard, 1 white muzzle) before the program.  An adult may need to help with this step. :)
