Children ages 5 and up will have a blast participating in a special, free StarWars Reads Lego activity presented by Snapology Mid-Hudson Valley from 4 to 5 p.m. Kids will create Star Wars planets and vehicles. Parents must register children by contacting Ginny Figlia at [email protected] or 845-831-1134, ext. 103, as space is limited.

Star Wars “experts” ages 4 and up are welcome for some intergalactic crafts from 3:45 to 5 p.m. This craft program is a drop-in (parents must join children ages 4-5). Origami Bob will be on hand to show older kids how to make a super origami Yoda, light saber, and more. Don’t forget to pick up a Star Wars trivia sheet to complete and bring back on Oct. 17 to be eligible for a cool prize. And may the force be with you!
