READ
MAKE
A Magic Wand
Pick up materials at the library’s main entrance starting June 15 (while supplies last).
Or, find your own at home. You’ll need a pencil or stick and ribbon.
A Hogwarts Origami Sorting Hat
Pick up the activity sheet from the library starting June 15.
Or print your own.
DO
Make some oobleck! All you need is cornstarch, water, and a container to keep it in. Do this activity outdoors so you can really experiment!
You need:
- 1 cup of cornstarch
- 1/2 cup of water (or any amount of cornstarch and water in a 2:1 ratio)
- a bowl or bin
Just mix the cornstarch and water together. Squeeze it! Dribble it! Try to stir it quickly! Is it a solid or a liquid?
