The Frayser Library is hosting a Holiday Crafts Corner for Kids on Thursday, December 10, from 4 to 5 pm. Children ages 5 to 12 are invited to make fun and easy ornaments for the holiday season.
The library notes that crafting ornaments helps children express creativity, practice fine motor skills, and enjoy the feeling of giving something personal to loved ones, so the finished pieces make good gifts for grandparents or teachers. Children under 12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Memphis Public Libraries programs are free and open to the general public. The one hour, after school time slot makes this an easy weekday stop, and it pairs well with the branch's Family Holiday Storytime two days later.
Parent tip: A parent or guardian must stay with children under 12.

Star Wars fans can make a holiday ornament with a twist at the Randolph Library on Saturday, December 12, from 1 to 2 pm. Participants craft a DIY ornament that looks like the Death Star, using dry pasta, glue, cardstock, paint, and glitter.
The library describes it as a relatively simple craft, and it is listed for tweens and teens, which makes it a good pick for older kids who want something more playful than a traditional ornament. Memphis Public Libraries programs are free and open to the general public. If you cannot make it, the event page links to the official Star Wars instructions so you can try the project at home. Finished ornaments are ready to hang on the family tree.
Parent tip: Glue and paint are involved, so dress kids in clothes that can get messy.
