This lion puppet is ready to roar!!! He’s the king of the jungle after all.
What you need: Orange paper 8 1/2-11, google eyes, markers, scissors and a glue stick

Hello Crafters! This week we will make some fun pop-ups-a bear, mouse and bunny.
You will need: print out 2 copies of template, markers or coloring pencils, scissors, glue.
Color and cut out the template pattern.
Fold it accordion style, back and forth on the lines below the animal.
Glue only the animals body and the cup at the bottom together leaving the folded parts loose.
Enjoy!
Butterflies are out in abundance this time of year. We see them in the garden or soaring through the air. Let’s make one of our own.
You will need: 3 colors of tissue paper, scissors, 1 pipe cleaner, a ruler and a pencil.
Choose three colors and lay them flat one on top of the other. Measure 5 inches from the side and the top to make a square and cut it out.
Fold about a half inch and again and again like an accordion as shown. Then fold in half and cut a round corner.
Who doesn’t love slime?! Well… maybe your parents. But if you tell them that there’s science at the core of creating slime they might let you go for it. This video will prepare you for the basics of slime making.
Get creative, and be sure to show us what you make with #ScarsdaleLibrary and #SPLkids
Let’s decorate! Wreaths are a great decoration for your door or for anywhere you would like to hang some color.
You will need: 1 paper plate, tissue paper-various colors of your choice, scissors, single hole punch a
nd tape.
Cut out the center of your plate. Punch holes in the circle as shown. The more holes you punch the fluffier your wreath will be. (If you don’t have a hole punch, please ask a grownup for help punching holes with a scissor or pencil. Be careful!)
Somebody has made a home in an apple. I wonder if you can guess who?
You will need: a printout of the template, paper towel roll, 2 red cupcake liners or white cupcake liners and red paint, white paper, markers, scissors and a glue stick.
Cut the paper towel roll into thirds, or to the height you would like your apple to be. Place it on the white paper and glue it down. Roll the paper around the paper towel roll piece and then glue it down again to seal it.
If you are distance learning, or hybrid schooling chances are you will need a pencil. So why not make it fun!

Happy Crafting!
Small flashes of light flicker in the dark summer sky. Lightning bugs are luminescent, they have the ability to create their own light in yellow, orange or green. This week we will create our own version of these winged beetles.
Hello Crafters! Today’s craft is a little different from what we have been doing. We are going to use acrylic paints so be sure to protect your table as it could get messy. Ok? Let’s go!

What you will need: 3 pieces of paper 6″ x 11 (color of your choice-I used red, white and blue); scissors and tape.
Fold the paper in half and cut slits in it until you are about a half inch from the bottom. The strips should be about a 1/4″ or so. You don’t have to measure you can just eyeball it . Do this for all 3 papers.

Print out this bear template and color and cut out two. Glue a small part of them together as shown.
