Above: Are your kids in the spirit to paint an ornament or create a fun/whimsical Gingerbread House? Sign them up for the Library’s events next week. (images cropped from flyer and edited from 2018 Library event on Facebook)
The Southborough Library recently added a free Gingerbread House Decorating workshop for tweens to its programs for next week. In past years, it’s an event that has filled up quickly, so be sure to register soon!
The evening workshop was recently added to the schedule on a day where the library was already holding a Crafternoon to make ornaments out of wood slices. Registration is also still open for that event.
Both programs are run by the popular returning crafter, Mandy Roberge. (Originally, she was sold out on the gingerbread house workshop this winter, but a cancellation allowed her to squeeze the library in!)
Both events are on Wednesday, December 18th and require pre-registration
Wood Slice Ornaments — 4:30 – 5:30 pm
For ages 8+
The library promotes, “Whether you have a tree in your home or not, your hand-painted wood-slice ornaments will delight you where you decide to hang them. They also make great gifts for the people you love this holiday season.” But, they warn that the paints used are not washable, so participants should dress accordingly.
Gingerbread House Decorating — 6:30 – 7:30 pm
For ages 8-12
This year, instead of “teams”, the program is limited to 15 individual tweens. Roberge will provide materials for each participants to build and decorate their own sweet little home.

To help put you in the mood, I’m sharing some great examples from past year’s events at the Library, from their Facebook posts:
