Worcester Public Library: Your main destination for arts and crafts

Monday, October 19, 2020


Check out this video Take and Make Craft Kits or read below to learn more about this program:

Take and Make craft kits are available monthly at all branches of the Worcester Public Library. Each month will feature a different craft to create! Craft along with us by watching the fun, interactive video posted on our website, or complete yours on your own. Craft kits are available first come, first served in limited quantities and are best for ages 5 through 11. Share pictures of your creations on our social media—we’d love to see what you make! Questions? Call 508-799-1671.

In celebration of this delightful monthly program we've rounded up some books that are chock-full of arts and crafts for the whole family! All of these titles are available at the Worcester Public Library!



Art Sparks: Draw, Paint, Make, and Get Creative by Marion Abrams and Hilary Emerson Lay

Some of the projects that don't require a lot of extra materials are:

-Doodle-Monsters

-Aluminum Foil Relief

-Pinecone Flower

-Finger Puppets

-Painted Animal Rock

Check out the chapter titled: Art and Nature to combine arts and crafts with the great outdoors!


Out of the Box: 25 Cardboard Engineering Projects for Makers by Jemma Westing

Some of these projects might take some extra time but the end results will be worth it. Each of the projects have a difficulty level meter from easy to hard and great instructions modeling each step.

If you have a lot of cardboard laying around as well as some paints you probably have most of the required materials to make these crafts in your home:

-Tube Owls

-Feed the Monsters

-Cardboard Theater

-Lazy Lizards

What extra scraps do you have lying around the house?



*The Unofficial Guide to Crafting the World of Harry Potter: 30 Magical Crafts for Witches and Wizards--from Pencil Wands to House Colors Tie-Dye Shirts by Jamie Harrington

*Most of these crafts require materials that are not found around the house but this book is worth looking at if you're a big arts and crafts fan.
