Make a Scarf at the Library [Free Event]

The chill is back! Fear not, your kids can be nice and cozy though after making their own fleece scarf. Best thing about this program is that they make their scarf at the library so you don't have the mess at home AND it's a free event for the kids!

The event will be held on Saturday, January 10 at the Ypsilanti District Library (Whittaker Branch) at 2:00 p.m. These easy scarves don't typically take long to create but are super cute. Your kids will get a kick out of making their OWN project!

Build a Mini Sled at Home Depot

This Saturday, January 3 at 9:00 a.m., kids can build there own mini sled during the Home Depot kids building clinic. To register for this free event, be sure to visit the website. My kids thoroughly enjoy these simple clinics and look forward to attending when we have the ability to do so. It's nice to know they are now less-likely to need my assistance and I too can enjoy!
