## About

Open craft time in the children's area of the Washington Park Library. Kids can drop in to make friendship bracelets, design their own custom pins with the library's button makers, or create pixel art with Perler beads. There is no set project, so children can try one craft or move between all three. Recommended for ages 8 and up, which makes it a good fit for school-age kids and young teens.
