Cozy winter crafts that spark creativity and support calm—after school!
Join The Mindfulness Movement at Island Lake Elementary for a special winter edition of Make & Take: Calming Creations, a 3-week after-school enrichment program designed to support students in grades 1–5 with mindful art, sensory play, and emotional regulation tools they can take home.
Each week features a seasonal hands-on project to make and take, helping kids unwind and express themselves through creativity:
❄️ Week 1: Falling Snow Sensory Bottles
Swirl your own snow scene in a calming sensory bottle.
✨ Week 2: Snowflake Slime
Stretch, sparkle, and soothe with this frosty sensory favorite.
