The Angelou Northeast Branch Library hosts a drop in Make and Take craft on Saturday, December 19, from noon to 3 pm. Children celebrate the season by crafting a winter night scene from cardstock to bring home.

The activity is meant for ages 4 to 11, and families can come and go at any point during the three hour window. No registration is listed. Because it falls on the Saturday before Christmas week, it is a calm, creative break from holiday errands, and it works well for siblings of different ages, since younger children can keep their scenes simple while older kids add more detail. The Walters Branch offers the same craft earlier in the month, on Thursday, December 3.

Parent tip: Drop in any time between noon and 3 pm.

The Advanced Learning Library, Wichita's downtown central library, offers Stitch a Snowflake on Saturday, December 19, from 1:30 to 2:30 pm. Children learn how to thread a needle and make basic stitches through a beginner friendly embroidery project sized for little hands, and they finish with a snowflake to keep.

The program is listed for preschoolers through fifth grade. Seats are limited and tickets are required. Pick up a ticket at the children's desk starting 30 minutes before the program begins, at 1 pm. A winter themed project like this is a nice way to slow down during the busy week before Christmas, and it introduces a new skill that kids can keep practicing at home over winter break.

Parent tip: Arrive by 1 pm to pick up a ticket at the children's desk, since seats are limited.

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.
