Activities to Go
Activities to Go
We're bringing Library activity programs to you! Visit any location where we will have Activities to Go envelopes in bins at the Grab and Go tables. Each envelope has directions and supplies for fun activities at home for preschoolers, kids ages 5 - 10, and teens. If you can't get to a location, just call us at 419.259.5200 and we will email you a full set of instructions. We also have a few activities you can download below.
These are the kits you can pick up right now:
All Ages: Learn more about women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). In aviation, computer programming, and NASA, women have paved the way for generations to work in traditionally male fields. In this kit, you’ll learn about Ada Lovelace, Katherine Johnson, Bessie Coleman, and Amelia Earhart.
Preschool: Snowball Sorting, Mitten Lacing, Simple Painting, and Salt Project Recipes.
Kids: String Spinner Toys, Gift Bag Decorating, Clothespin Penguins, and Holiday Aroma Recipes.
Teens: Microwave Mug Flan, Friendship Bracelets, Paper Football, and Fall Bucket List.
A few activities to download from home:
