Although I did not work the day of our holiday party, I did offer to help by preparing materials for a fun craft the kids could do. Since it is a holiday party, I wanted to do something winter themed that could be used as a pretty decoration for any holiday: mitten ornaments! I pre-cut pairs of felt mittens in an assortment of colors using the AccuCut (I don't know how I could live without this thing in a library), and made a little slit in the top of each one, connecting the pair with a pipe cleaner. You could also use yarn, but the pipe cleaner was easier to use, important when you are preparing sixty pairs of mittens. Finally, for the fun part, I decorated the mittens with glitter glue, sequins, cotton puffs, and foam letters. Staff reported that the mitten craft was a definite hit!
