Make Your Own Lip Balm
Chapped-lip season is not far off, and with that in mind, the Amagansett Library will host a lip balm-making workshop for kids 8 to 12 on Saturday at 11 a.m. Participants will use natural ingredients to create a lip balm they can take home.
Go Ahead, Gross Them Out
Want to really gross somebody out? The youth librarians at the Hampton Library in Bridgehampton have invited 7 to 12-year-olds to do just that on Tuesday at 4 p.m. Kids can look for “the most cringe-inducing information they can find” for the library’s Gross Me Out challenge. Also at the library this week, there will be a story hour on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. for ages 4 and up, and teens can drop in through Tuesday to make keyhole wall art. Starting on Wednesday, materials will be provided to make upcycled bookmarks.
Soy Candles and More
At the East Hampton Library, Tuesday will bring a Thanksgiving story time and craft at 4 p.m. for ages 4 to 6. Kids 5 and up will make scented soy candles on Wednesday at 4 p.m. Family movies this week at the library will be “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” today at 4 p.m., and “Finding Dory,” next Thursday at the same time.
Calling Young Wizards
Young wizards ages 8 to 12 can make their own Harry Potter wands during a workshop on Sunday at the John Jermain Memorial Library in Sag Harbor to celebrate the release of the new Harry Potter movie. Materials will be provided for the workshop, which will start at 2 p.m. On Saturday, children 4 and up who are learning to read can practice their skills with Wally the therapy dog between 11 a.m. and noon. Advance registration has been requested for both programs.
Apple Pie Workshop
A family apple pie workshop on Saturday at 2 at the Montauk Library could provide some tips for the upcoming Thanksgiving meal. There will be enough ingredients for 15 families, each of whom will take home a pie to bake. Advance sign-up is a must.
Fall Leaves and Pumpkins
Autumn leaves and pumpkins, an apple orchard tour, and basket making. The South Fork Natural History Museum in Bridgehampton is gearing up for what sounds like a perfect fall weekend. On Saturday at 10:30 a.m., Eleni Nikolopoulos will lead families as they talk about and search for pretty leaves and then decorate pumpkins with leaf patterns. There is a $7 materials fee for the workshop. At the same time that day, families can join in a tour of the Milk Pail orchards near Mecox Bay and learn how apple cider is made. The cost is $5 per person. On Saturday at noon, Pat Robben, a basket weaver, and Trish Brophy, a basket weaver from the Mohawk Tribe, will work with children 7 and older to make small reed baskets at 2 p.m. There is a $5 materials fee. Advance registration is requested for all of the museum’s special programs.
