KIDS

Need a consistently agreeable companion?  Kids use stuff from around the house to make your own Bobblehead with Jeremie from Artzooka on Kanopy.  Will it be fun?  We are nodding yes!

TEENS

The Getty Museum and the Rijksmuseum challenged people in quarantine to recreate works of art with objects found in your home. Teens, we challenge you to recreate your own masterpiece!  Want an even greater art challenge? Create a self-portrait with found objects. Share your creations with us #WSLSummerReading20
