1ST ANNUAL CRAFT SUPPLY DRIVE
Thank you to all of our volunteers who generously donated arts and craft supplies. Our bins are stocked,
and we're ready to put the sticks, pipe cleaners, yarn, paper,
glue, and googly eyes to good use.
Reading to Kids is committed to reading
great books to kids. The crafts the children make
are based on the reading club monthly theme, and those crafts
(suggested each month by our amazing
Curriculum Committee) are
connected directly to the books they have just heard. The
crafts also serve as a tangible reminder for the children of
their reading club experience, further helping them to associate
reading with pleasure. Craft time is also a wonderful
opportunity for volunteers to share insights about the books and
to get to know these fabulous kids.
