Over the past year, a group of tween girls have been spending Wednesday afternoons at the library in Ogema. To engage these kids in some projects, the library put together a series for them this spring. Activities included:
- Making May Baskets to give to folks spending time in the adjoining Senior Center
- Learning to crochet and knit from local volunteers
- Planting kale, lettuce and cabbage in library planters (also writing a spring poem together, and playing games with the seeds)
Low tech and super fun for the participants, including the library staff overseeing (so much fun they didn't have a chance to take photos!)
Labels: gardens, intergenerational programs, maker projects, tween programs, volunteers
