Join our Children's Librarians for our fun Finger Painting program here at the Mokena Library. Come prepared to get messy and be creative! Each Finger Painting, 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. 

Session #1 10:00am - 10:15am 

Session #2 10:30am - 10:45am

Registration is required. Each Finger Painting session is the same craft. Please register for only ONE (1) session. Thank you!

Limit: 15 children per session

Ages: Infant - 5 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.

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@mokenalibrary.org 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.
