Kids and teens spend an hour in Meeting Room 1 at the Greenwich branch painting a Christmas tree to mark the coming holiday. It is the December 7 edition of the library's Monday evening arts and crafts series, which runs on many Mondays through the year with a new project each time.
The session is Monday, December 7, 2026, from 5:00 to 6:00 PM at 411 Swedesboro Road in Gibbstown. It is listed for children ages 6 to 12 and teens ages 13 to 17. Registration is required and closes at 4:30 PM that day, and the listing shows no charge.
Parent tip: Sign-up closes at 4:30 PM on the day, half an hour before the brushes come out, so register ahead instead of counting on a walk-in. The hour is pitched at ages 6 to 17, so younger siblings will need their own plan.

Parent tip: Registration does not open until 4:30 PM on November 14, a full month before the session, so set a reminder if your child has their heart set on it. With several crafts in a single hour, arriving on time matters.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.

The story of Christmas in Greenwich
Greenwich Township is home to the C. A. Nothnagle Log House, one of the oldest standing wooden structures built by European settlers in the eastern United States. Christmas for kids here gathers at the county library's Greenwich branch in Gibbstown, which hosts two Monday evening craft sessions in December.
How Greenwich celebrates
For families in Greenwich Township, the Christmas listings come from the Gloucester County Library System, whose Greenwich branch sits on Swedesboro Road in Gibbstown, the township's main community. The branch gives two of its regular Monday evening arts and crafts sessions a holiday theme. On December 7, 2026, kids and teens paint a Christmas tree at Paint Night in Meeting Room 1. On December 14, Winter Crafts: Craftmas fills Meeting Rooms 1 and 2 with a mix of Christmas themed crafts. Both run from 5:00 to 6:00 PM, are meant for ages 6 to 17, and require registration through the library.
Fun facts about Christmas in Greenwich
Greenwich Township was first formed on March 1, 1695, and was incorporated on February 21, 1798, as one of New Jersey's initial group of 104 townships. It was named for Greenwich, England. Its C. A. Nothnagle Log House was likely built by Finnish-Swedish settlers after 1638 and before 1700. The 2020 census counted 4,917 residents in the township, 3,822 of them in Gibbstown.

A fact for kids
Greenwich Township has a one-room log cabin that is more than 300 years old. It has a low-beamed ceiling and a big fireplace tucked into a back corner.

Greenwich Christmas events for kids: questions parents ask
What Christmas events for kids are there in Greenwich Township in 2026?
The Greenwich branch of the Gloucester County Library System in Gibbstown has two. Paint Night: Paint a Christmas Tree is on Monday, December 7, 2026, and Winter Crafts: Craftmas follows on Monday, December 14. Each runs from 5:00 to 6:00 PM and is aimed at children ages 6 to 12 and teens ages 13 to 17.
Are there free Christmas activities for kids in Greenwich Township?
Both library sessions are listed with no charge: Paint Night: Paint a Christmas Tree on December 7, 2026, and Winter Crafts: Craftmas on December 14. They do require registration, so the real limit is whether you sign up in time, not the cost.
Do the library's Christmas crafts need registration?
Yes, both do. Registration for Paint Night: Paint a Christmas Tree closes at 4:30 PM on December 7, 2026, thirty minutes before it starts. Registration for Winter Crafts: Craftmas on December 14 opens on November 14, 2026, at 4:30 PM. Sign up through the event pages on the library system's calendar.
Where can kids meet Santa in Greenwich Township?
Neither of the library's December sessions includes a Santa visit. Paint Night on December 7, 2026, and Craftmas on December 14 are hands-on craft hours for ages 6 to 17. Families looking for Santa will need to look beyond these two listings, since the Greenwich branch pages do not mention one.
What ages are the Greenwich branch Christmas programs for?
Both are listed for children ages 6 to 12 and teens ages 13 to 17. That makes Paint Night: Paint a Christmas Tree on December 7, 2026, and Winter Crafts: Craftmas on December 14 a good fit for school-age siblings who want to go together, though not for preschoolers.
Where is the Greenwich branch library?
The branch is at 411 Swedesboro Road in Gibbstown, the community where most Greenwich Township residents live. Paint Night on December 7, 2026, meets in Meeting Room 1, and Craftmas on December 14 uses Meeting Rooms 1 and 2. Both start at 5:00 PM on a Monday.
Are there Christmas train rides for kids near Greenwich?
Santa trains and holiday train rides have their own guide: Rally Takes the Train’s New Jersey Christmas train rides guide. This Greenwich guide covers Santa visits, story times, light shows and other events off the rails.
