Let's kick off October right! Join us in the Children's Programming Room for a fang-tastic movie paired with some homemade blood making! Watch Batman and Dracula face off against each other for the fate of Gotham City. While the movie is playing, we will be making homemade blood from corn syrup and red dye. Rated PG for cartoon violence and suggestive themes The homemade blood is made with dye, so please don't wear any clothing that you don't want any potential stains on!
Batman Vs Dracula & Blood Making is a free library event in Durham where kids can watch an animated movie while crafting their own batch of fake blood. The library staff will guide participants through a hands-on recipe using corn syrup and red food coloring while the PG-rated film plays in the background. This activity is best suited for elementary and middle school-aged children who can handle a PG rating with cartoon violence. The event is entirely free, and all crafting materials are provided by the library. Because red food dye is a main ingredient, children should wear older clothes that you do not mind getting stained. The Main Library has a dedicated parking lot with free parking for visitors. It is a smart weekend pick because it combines a cozy seasonal movie with a messy, sensory craft that you do not have to clean up at your own kitchen table.
