SKANEATELES — INSIDE—Dinosaur Hide and Seek | All Month in November
Help! Our dinosaurs have gotten loose and we need your help to find them. Check out a book from our Dinosaur Book Display in the Children’s Room. If you find a sparkly dinosaur hidden in your book, you can turn it into the library for a mini dinosaur character to take home and color.
AT HOME KIT—Cookie Excavation | All Month in November
This take-home STEAM kit allows kids to get some insight into being a paleontologist. As they carefully remove fragile artifacts (the chocolate chips) from a dig site (the cookie), they will record their findings and see just how many artifacts they can find before devouring all the crumbs. Call 315-685-5135 to request your kit, or go to SkanLibrary.org. For kids in grades 2+.
