Kiwanis Kraft Days – February 7th

Families are invited to get creative during the return of Kiwanis Kraft Days, taking place from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday January 31st and Saturday February 7th at the Bradford Area Public Library.

Hosted by the Kiwanis Club of Bradford, the free events are open to children ages 4 to 18 and their families. Each session will feature ten hands-on craft stations, offering a wide variety of activities designed to spark creativity for all skill levels.

Several new crafts have been added this year, including dot mandala painting on recycled vinyl records, along with bracelet and keychain-making using colorful beads. Many popular crafts from last year’s event will also return, following strong community turnout.

“We were so pleased with the response last year that we wanted to build on what worked and add a few new ideas,” said organizer Nancy Dryden. “This year combines familiar favorites with some fun new projects.”

The Saturday session will focus on weaving crafts using paper and yarn, with projects such as paper placemats, bowls, and woven designs. The Feb. 7 session will introduce additional activities, including Valentine-themed crafts and new mandala patterns. Participants can also learn to create woven paper hearts.

Kiwanis Kraft Days support the mission of Kiwanis International, which is dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. Organizers say the events are designed to provide a welcoming, creative space where families can connect, create, and enjoy time together.
