Ever since I was a child, I knew I wasn't crafty or artistic. It just isn't in me, so this blog post really spoke to me. It is called Library Crafts for the Craft-Phobic Children’s Librarian by Katie Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald suggests crafts such as friendship wristbands, sticker scenes, and paper plate crafts.
They say to "keep things simple, focus on process over product, and watch as young artists surprise you with what they are able to create." It really is amazing what someone can come up with.
I helped run a program this summer called Friday Fun, where anyone could come and do a craft. Every Friday, I was amazed at what everyone came up with and how different they all were- even though they were creating the same thing.
