Craft Workshop, Book Swap and History at the Saylesville Meetinghouse in Lincoln, Rhode Island
“A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down” was the mantra of Mary Poppins. When children are engaged in activities that are fun and absorbing, not only are they learning new skills without pain and frustration but they are also building the confidence that will help them tackle problems in school and beyond.
The Saylesville Meetinghouse in Lincoln, Rhode Island is very interested in facilitating this process. Once a month they offer a crafting workshop that is perfect for families with young children. These simple crafts are enjoyable for adults as well. The workshops are free and they try to use recyclable materials whenever possible. Joanne Griffin (crafter extraordinaire) loves to see the surprise on the children’s faces when they realize beautiful things can be made from something they would normally put in the trash.
