Family Book Club: Snowflakes and Snowmen Everywhere!

Pick up kit from Main Library from Nov 25-Dec 2

Explore games, crafts, snacks and books all about snow and snowmen in this winter version of our family book club. This is a "kit only" program. Registration required.

**NOTE:  Kits contain supplies for 1 of each craft.  If you have multiple children in your family, please register each child separately.**

"In the meadow we can build a snowman"... and make snowman crafts, snacks and more! If you like snow and snowmen, pick up this kit with craft, snack and game ideas to complete with your family whether it is snowing outside or not. (Note:  This is NOT a Zoom meeting event.) 

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 Friday, November 25th through Friday, December 2nd.  The kit will include the basic materials & instructions for the suggested craft projects.  You will need to secure the ingredients for the snack ideas as well as some general crafting items listed below.  Best for families with children in K-5th grade.  

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 before arriving at the library.
