Hello Cornwall Families, Winter Craft Day 2023 is just around the corner, on Friday, December 15th! This is the time for you crafty people (or not so crafty, but brave enough to give it a whirl!) to shine!
We will, once again, transform the multi-purpose room into a creative workshop filled with fun projects for students to make and enjoy, or spread the joy even further by gifting the crafts to others.
We need you!
If you'd like to offer a craft station, on your own or with a buddy, come up with a craft for children to make. It is important to choose a craft that is accessible to kindergartners through fifth graders, and not explicitly holiday themed. Some examples we have done in the past include wood crafts, hot cocoa packets, bath salts, water globes, note cards, magnets, pet treat bags with treats, and so much more! Keep in mind that students will have approximately 40 minutes to make several crafts so the project should be one that takes no longer than 5-10 minutes. The first 12 volunteers to reach out to me with a craft plan get themselves a coveted table at the 2023 Winter Craft Fair!
Like to craft, but your forte is more with intricate paper snowflakes and decor than managing dozens of kids with scissors and glue guns? Perhaps you'd like to plan some quick-to-assemble-and-deploy decorations for the day (no holiday themed decor, please). The wrapping station is also staffed by volunteers, and is a fun way to be in the midst of the action without the need for a lot of pre-planning!
This is an all day event (from the start to end of the school day), but if you only have a few hours to offer, we may be able to team you up with others who can keep the crafting going! If you aren't available to come on that day perhaps you wish to donate wrapping or crafting supplies?
Please reach out with any questions or thoughts on collaboration. We can pair you with another crafty adult, offer suggestions on possible craft ideas, and reimburse you for materials (up to a maximum of $40).
This is a wonderful event that is as much fun for the volunteers as it is for the kids!
Please let me know if you'd like to be included and what I can do to get you started.
I look forward to hearing from you!
