Craft Corner: Black History Month Button Making

Children are invited to unleash their creativity as they design and create their own custom buttons inspired by Black history, culture, and influential figures. We’ll provide all the materials and offer suggestions for themes, symbols, and inspiring quotes by highlighting some of the wonderful books in our collection written and illustrated by Black creators. This hands-on program encourages children to learn about and express pride in the rich heritage of Black communities, resulting in a wearable piece of art they can take home. No prior crafting experience is needed—just a desire to learn, create, and share! Ages 3-12.
