NAPPANEE — Workshops and craft night at Nappanee Public Library.

Invention Workshop for Kids

Kids in grades three through five are invited to try their hand at several Makey Makey invention kits in a newly-created monthly program at the library from 4-5 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 8. Turn everyday objects into touchpads and combine them with the Internet for exciting results. This program is great for curious kids who are interested in art, music, engineering and everything in between. The workshops will be held on the second Tuesday of each month. December’s theme is “Play with Your Food!”

Register by calling (574) 773-7919 or by clicking on the events calendar at www.nappaneelibrary.org.

Pinterest Night

Holiday time is the best time to craft. Make a mini wreath or a recycled magazine ornament at the next Pinterest Night at the Nappanee Library. Crafters will meet in the Cube, the library’s makerspace, from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 9. All materials will be provided at a cost of $5 per project.

All ages are welcome, but children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Pinterest Night is designed as a collaborative, learn-as-you-make program where participants share ideas and tips to complete popular projects found on Pinterest, the virtual bulletin board and Internet hub for bookmarking lifestyle links and images.
