A creative STEM-themed crafts program.
Kids in grades K-5 can explore the creative, artistic, and STEM curious sides of themselves in this after school program featuring new activities each month.
With assistance from teen volunteers, elementary students will visit activity stations full of arts, crafts, and STEM!
This month's activities: paper fans, personalized bookmarks, magnets and faux kites.
Engaging in arts, crafts, and STEM activities can improve a child’s fine motor skills and enhance their creative problem-solving abilities. Activities like cutting, gluing, painting, and drawing can help children develop better coordination and dexterity while creating three dimensional objects can improve visual-spatial skills. Additionally, the unique set up of this program facilitates communication between elementary students and high school students, giving younger students the chance to practice social skills, take turns, and work together with their older peers.
The Buena Vista Branch Library is located on Buena Vista Street near Olive Avenue in Burbank’s Media District. It is a one-story building.
