The holidays are upon us. Why not let your kids do the decorating? Howland Public Library and the Wee Play Community Project will lead a home decorating workshop from 10:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Dec. 7, at Howland Public Library, 313 Main St., Beacon. Tina Chan Sweenie will help children of all ages (with a parent or guardian) find all sorts of unique items to create an amazing centerpiece, wreath ornament, or wall hanging. Children can let their imaginations take over – design a centerpiece with a snowy dinosaur, a bedazzled pine cone wall hanging, or maybe even a wreath made from recycled objects.

There is no registration necessary, and all ages are welcome, accompanied by an adult or guardian. Families may drop in any time after 10:30 a.m. In lieu of a materials fee, Wee Play will give any donations to The Grace Smith House, an organization providing “an open door for victims of domestic violence.”
