Celebrate summer at the North-East Branch with fun activities and delicious food!
This July, explore the magic of the four classical elements—Earth, Water, Air, and Fire—through fun, hands-on crafts! Each week, we’ll dive into a creative project inspired by nature’s forces.
- Jul 9: Earth – Get creative with nature as we paint rocks and decorate terra cotta pots to celebrate the element of Earth.
- Jul 16: Water – Build your own mini underwater world with a magical mason jar aquarium.
- Jul 23: Air – Craft breezy, beachy wind chimes using seashells, beads, and twine.
- Jul 30: Fire – Channel the warmth of fire with painted globe art and glowing handmade lanterns.
