Hello everyone! I know it's been a while since I have checked in here. I've been busy writing for the Programming Librarian blog and was working on a great piece called the Teen Summer Challenge. I didn't get a chance to finish up on the PL blog, so I was thinking that since summer isn't officially over until September 22nd that I would post the rest of my summer challenge ideas here. My plan is to post about projects that teens will love to do at the library during the summer. I’ve got ideas for refreshing summer recipes, creative crafts, and even some outdoor activities. If you are a teen librarian or school librarian you can join the challenge by duplicating these engaging ideas at your library. Here's a sneak preview of some of the projects on my summer list that are still left to do:
- Yarn bowls
- Games 101
- Leaf art
- Kaleidoscopes
- Plant pals
- Sock puppets
- Mastering the jump rope
- Waterproofing the jump rope
- Custom crayons
- Lazy summer day playlist
Here are some crafts and activities that I already tried at my library!
Summer Fun with Adorable Tape and Dancing
More Summer Fun with Dream Catchers and Playing in the Dirt
May the Fourth of July Be With You
Feel free to try these crafts and activities out any time of the year!
Love your library!
Mrs. Librarian Lady
