December 26 – December 30 Festival of Kwanzaa

Kwanzaa is here, and there are so many fun things to do! Join us each day during the Festival of Kwanzaa to “light” a candle on the Kinara. Every day, we’ll celebrate a new Kwanzaa principle through a variety of activities including working at the family stand, making gifts for family and friends, playing Kwanzaa games, and even having a “feast”! These daily activities are a perfect way to begin teaching your children about the meaning and traditions of this joyous holiday.

Friday, December 26: Kwanzaa Kinara

Saturday, December 27: Kwanzaa Placement/Quilt

Sunday, December 28: Kwanzaa Corn

Grown-up Tip:  Visit our library to share a special Kwanzaa-themed story time with your little one.  Let your child read you a story.  This is a special gift your child can give to you while expanding vocabulary, word association, and most importantly increase his or her appreciation for another’s culture and traditions.
