Today I had the honor of leading my first Craftastic afternoon with the teens of the Tualatin Library. It was a bit more chaotic than I had anticipated. We made Altoids tin wallets /gift boxes. Unfortunately, the teens are unable to come all at the same time, so each person was at a different step in the process at a different time. This worked well for not having enough supplies for every one but I kept thinking how much easier it would be if there were 3 of me to give the teens the attention and assistance they needed.However, it was a success, the teens enjoyed themselves, and follow directions and made great wallets and gift boxes.
Next time I run Crafttastic (February-- book marks) I’ll do more planning into the prep of the program, and also have printed instructions for the teens to follow along with what we are doing.
