How I Use Pinterest Get Ideas Get Organized Get Inspired Get Creative Pinterest is great, but at the end of the day, we still have to take those ideas and turn them into feasible programs within a limited budget. We want to create fun and engaging programs so the kids and teens come back for more!

Tips for Putting Together Craft Programs Teach teens a new skill Make something they will use, want to display at home or in their locker at school, or a gift they can give to a family member or friend Crafts that use recycled materials, little to no cost Have templates prepared for teens who are not so crafty. Make sure the program caters to all skill levels.

Program Structure and Examples I plan most of my programs to last hours. I normally start with some sort of ice breaker or an easy/shorter craft that is related to the bigger, more complicated craft we’re doing. Examples: – Glass magnet to go with the magnet memo board – Duct tape school supplies, back-to-school program – Fandom on Fire painted Totes, Fandom Quiz as an ice breaker
