Drop-In Get Crafty: Reading Takes You Everywhere

In celebration of our summer reading club kick-off, we had a drop-in craft. Our club's theme is Reading Takes You Everywhere so we made a hot air balloon craft. 

I needed to find a craft that was relatively easy, unique and fun, and wouldn't be hard to supply for a drop-in crowd. Despite having some concerns that the craft wouldn't be exciting for the kids, this hot air balloon craft fit the bill perfectly. The groups had fun coloring coffee filters and spraying them using water bottles to make the tie-dye/blending effect. Of course, the spraying of the water bottles was everyone's favorite part!


All the hot air balloons looked so pretty and individual that I wish I had a spot in the library to display them, but we have so many nice displays up for summer reading at the moment. 

Reading Takes You Everywhere!
