Hey, Kiddos! It's time for a special summer edition of DIY with DPPL!

This time, you'll learn how to make your very own color-changing LED nightlight. Starting on Saturday, June 12th, stop by the Youth Services desk on the second floor of DPPL to pick up a kit (while supplies last!), and then use the materials to do the project we show you step-by-step in the video.

Grade 3 and up.

The June 12 Wee Artistes kit is inspired by artist Alexander Calder and his colorful, kinetic creations.
