Woodland Critter Felties (w/ Hot Cocoa!)

As we learned in October, making felties is fun! So now they’re back, and even more adorable than the monsters we worked on last time. In January we’ll be crafting woodland critters fit for any winter scene. Make a fox, or a bunny, or something else. The limit is your imagination!

First, we'll be at the Main Library at 3:30 PM on Thursday, January 4th, and we'll follow up at the McAuliffe Library at 3:30 PM on Thursday, January 18th.

And since it's cold outside, we'll have plenty of snacks and hot cocoa to warm you up.
