Join our Children's Librarians, Ms. Emily and Ms. Helen, for our fun Finger Painting program here at the Mokena Library. Come prepared to get messy and be creative! Each Finger Painting Friday, we will have a new theme to guide our painting time together. We will provide all of the painting materials and a disposable smock for each child. Each week we will create an arts and crafts project, exploring different sensory techniques, like finger painting, water colors, shaving cream, play dough, salt painting, marble painting, etc.
Registration is required.
Limit: 30 children
Ages: Infant - 8 years old
Please register each child's name only.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Mokena Library at 708-479-9663, or email our Children's Librarians at youthservices@mokena.lib.il.us.
We highly recommend registering with an email address. This is the only way you will get a confirmation email, be able to cancel and receive any updates, including cancellation of the program. Please arrive on time for the program. If you are unable to attend the program, please cancel at least 2 hours before the program begins, by emailing youthservices@mokena.lib.il.us or calling the Mokena Library at 708-479-9663 and canceling with a librarian. You can also cancel through your confirmation email. After 3 times of being marked absent without cancellation notice, we will be moving future registrations to the waitlist for two weeks. This is to accommodate as many patrons as possible due to limited space and popularity of our programs.
Crafters, welcome! Join others as they work on needle work, including knitting, crocheting, embroidery and any other needle work. Drop in and bring your supplies!
Also, check out our yarn swap up by the mini-maker space; bring any good-condition yarn you don't need and swap it for something you'll use.
No registration required.
