Creative Crafts Corner — #SummerCrafts

Your local library can be one of the best places to find free summer fun for young kids. From themed summer reading programs and interactive story times to STEM workshops, arts and crafts, animal encounters, and family events, libraries offer creative ways to keep kids learning, playing, and exploring all summer long.

Painted kindness rocks are a simple outdoor craft that helps kids turn creativity into connection. Children can collect smooth rocks, decorate them with bright colors, cheerful designs, or kind words, and then place them in a garden, along a walking path, or give them to someone special. This easy spring and summer activity encourages kids to Create. Play. Learn. while spreading a little joy.
