Wow! It's been a long time since I posted here. I feel bad, but I still have lots of fun ideas for teen programs and crafts. One thing I just implemented at my library is something called the Teen Make n' Take Station. This is really cool because each month I come up with ideas and buy the supplies, make a few samples and then put out everything at the station. It has been wildly popular and I am excited to keep this going for our teens that come into the library. Here is are a few of the crafts I have had at the Make n' Take Station so far.
September: Paint Chip Bookmarks - These were so fun and easy to make! Visit your local home service store that has paint samples and you'll find all kinds of colors there. Find different shaped hole punches or decorate with metallic sharpies and stickers. Anything you do with these bookmarks is awesome!
October: Decorated Animal Masks - The cutest masks ever :) Just print out the masks and make sure to have stickers, glitter, markers, hole puncher, and lots of ribbon
November: Simple White Tile Coasters - I bought a box of 50 - 4" x 4" white tiles for $20 and decorated a few of them with colorful and metallic sharpies. They turned out to be so adorable I gave mine away as gifts!
I'm looking for ideas for December, so if you have any easy holiday crafts ideas let me know!
