Holiday crafts

Holly Jolly Slime

Expand to see the parent tip

Elementary schoolers mix up their own batch of holiday slime at the Hebron Branch. Kids pick colors and then work in scents, glitter and other seasonal extras to make it their own.

The program is Thursday, December 3, 2026, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm in Meeting Room ABC at the Hebron Branch, 1863 North Bend Road. It is listed for grades K-5. The library's page does not mention a price or registration.

Parent tip: Slime with glitter and dye travels, so send kids in clothes that can take a stain and bring a sealed container or zip bag for the ride home. The 6:00 pm start means dinner before or a snack in the car.

Holiday show

The Children's Theatre on Tour Presents: The Day Before Christmas

Expand to see the parent tip

TCT On Tour, the touring arm of the Children's Theatre of Cincinnati, brings a live play to the library's meeting room. In the story an icy villain, Jack Frost, sets out to put a stop to every Christmas activity, and the folks at the North Pole have to find help to beat him and rescue the day.

The performance is Thursday, December 17, 2026, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm in Meeting Room ABC at the Hebron Branch, 1863 North Bend Road. It is tagged for families, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers and elementary ages. No price or registration is mentioned on the library's page.

Parent tip: A 6:00 pm show on a Thursday can run into bedtime for the youngest, so feed them first. It is staged in a meeting room rather than a theater, so come a little early to settle small children near the front.

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 Hebron

Hebron was once called Briar Thicket, and took its present name from Hebron Lutheran Church when a post office opened in 1858. Today the Boone County community is known for the airport next door, and at Christmas its library branch on North Bend Road hosts a touring children's play and a holiday slime night.

How Hebron celebrates

Christmas for kids in Hebron centers on the Hebron Branch of Boone County Public Library at 1863 North Bend Road, the road Wikipedia identifies as Kentucky Route 237. On Thursday, December 3, 2026, the branch holds Holly Jolly Slime for children in grades K-5, who make colorful slime with scents and glitter. On Thursday, December 17, TCT On Tour, a division of the Children's Theatre of Cincinnati, performs The Day Before Christmas for families. Both programs start at 6:00 pm in the branch's Meeting Room ABC. Downtown Cincinnati, home of the theater company, is about 16 miles east of Hebron.

Fun facts about Christmas in Hebron

Hebron is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in northern Boone County, with 6,195 residents at the 2020 census. It was previously known as Briar Thicket, and possibly Hecla, before the 1858 post office took the name of the local Hebron Lutheran Church. The wider Hebron area is home to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, whose terminal uses a Hebron postal address even though it sits outside the community's census boundary. The Hebron Deposit Bank is among six local sites on the National Register of Historic Places.

Traditions today

  • Holly Jolly Slime: On December 3, children in grades K-5 make festive slime with scents, glitter and other add-ins at the Hebron Branch.
  • The Children's Theatre on Tour: On December 17, the touring division of the Children's Theatre of Cincinnati performs The Day Before Christmas at the library.
  • Meeting Room ABC: Both of the branch's December programs for kids are held in this meeting room at 1863 North Bend Road.
  • North Bend Road: The library sits on Kentucky Route 237, known locally as North Bend Road, one of the state highways that serve Hebron.

A fact for kids

Before it was Hebron, this place was called Briar Thicket. Today big airplanes take off and land right next door at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.
