Rainbow Lacing Craft
  • Bring a smile to rainy day faces with the Rainbow Lacing Take-and-Make Craft Kit. Each kit includes self-adhesive foam pieces, nylon cord and 1/4" plastic beads to create a cheerful rainbow.

  • If the registration list is full, please add yourself to the waitlist, as we often have kits not picked up promptly that we can offer to the waitlist. Kits will be available to pick up in the curbside lobby beginning Tuesday, February 25th. Any kits not picked up by Tuesday, March 4th will be offered to children on the wait list.
