Create a Decoupage Box! (GR 6+)

Meet us at EB Create and design your own decoupage box. Decoupage is a craft technique in which the artist attaches paper decorations to a hard surface with a clear drying glue. Some people call decoupage "painting with paper," because once the design is dry they can truly look painted on!

An example of a decoupage is pictured. Keep in mind that it does not have to have a floral pattern. We will have paper in all colors and designs so that you can express your own personal style.

Pokémon Club

Join us for Pokémon card trading, trivia games, and more!

This program will be hosted by TAG volunteer Lilian. Available to Grades 3 - 8. Drop-ins welcome. Bring Pokémon cards if you have them!
