Teen Summer Reading Program (2): We are Stronger Together

Last week I shared some Teen craft ideas that could be used for a Friendship theme. 

If you missed it, check it out. 

Here are more craft ideas. 

Friendship Bracelets: 

Yes, you can make these with kids - but the teens can make more elaborate ones. 

Bookmarks:

You can leave them in books around the library or they can keep them

Mini Terrariums:

Washi Tape Picture Frames:

Origami Stars:

You can write a sweet message inside

These are posted for Valentine's Day, but they can be used anytime. Teens could make these more elaborate also.

Teen Summer Reading Program (1): We are Stronger Together

I rarely follow the summer theme for teens - there are times when it works out nicely and times when it doesn't. The teens in my community don't seem to care if the programs are based on a theme. They just want to have fun.

These could be Friendship - as in make them and gift them to a friend/neighbor...

Sugar Scrubs:

Paint Night:

Could be virtual or in person. 

We do a virtual one every four months at my library for teens and adults.

Shrinky Dink Fun:

You can make keychains or jewelry...

You can draw, you can use stramps, you can trace

the sky is the limit here.
