Christmas and Hannukah are great times for kids to create with crafts. There is nothing more genuine than kids showing love with DIY (do it yourself) holiday cards for family and friends.
Tappan Library Youth Services Librarian Lara Cohen said, โThe object of the program is for children to design their own cards using different colors of Washi Tape, which is a high quality masking tape that can be torn, written on and repositioned easily. In addition, some of the other materials include cardstock, glitter, ribbon, colored pencils plus felt pieces for stars, Christmas trees and Menorahs that are punched out by the kids themselves.โ
The children enjoyed the activity and some made the following comments: โThere are many creative ways to make cards;โ โIt is fun to make things for other people;โ โWe are decorating our own cards without following anyoneโs instructions.โ

Parent Paul Franzese said, โThe programs offered at the Library provide a wonderful opportunity for children of all ages from the community to come together and engage in fun, interesting and educational activities.โ
Parent Carol Durretta stated, โThe childrensโ programs and activities are wonderful for all ages, beginning with infants and up to 12 years of age. It is a great place to learn and make new friends.โ
Parent Jenn Bourne said, โWe are very fortunate in this community to have such wonderful library events. It is a wonderful place to take my children to socialize with our neighbors.โ
Activities such as arts and crafts in libraries hasten kidsโ developments of social interactions and motor skills that are essential for school success in the early years.
