Children ages 2-5 are invited to join Ms. Kristen and get creative! Process art is child-directed and embraces the process of creating, rather than the end result. This week, we will make our own leaves using coffee filters, markers, eyedroppers, and water. Registration is appreciated, but not required. Please dress for a mess. Can't wait to see what you create! If you have questions about accessibility, program stimulation levels, and/or need disability accommodations, please contact us at (919) 560-8592.
Preschool Process Art: Cardboard Tree Sculptures is a hands-on crafting workshop where young children can explore colors and textures without the pressure of making a perfect final product. Led by library staff, kids will use everyday materials like coffee filters, markers, and water droppers to design their own colorful leaves and assemble them onto cardboard bases. This free program is designed specifically for children ages two to five and takes place in the children's programming room at the Southwest Regional Library in Durham. While registration is helpful for planning, walk-ins are welcome. Because the activities involve water, markers, and potential spills, children should wear play clothes that can handle a mess. For any accessibility questions or sensory accommodation requests, you can reach the branch directly at 919-560-8592. It is a smart weekday outing because it offers a structured, creative outlet outside the house without costing a dime. Your child gets to experiment with new sensory tools, and the library staff handles all the cleanup afterward.
