Paper Ball Bunny Challenge from Ms. Arlene
Ms. Arlene is thinking about all of the children who visit the Library. In order to decorate the library when we reopen, let’s see how many of you can make this Paper Ball Bunny. Watch this Youtube Video for step by step directions and begin creating. S.T.E.A.M. Activity: Use your creative thinking skills to figure out how to make this. Hint: Use an 11 1/2 by 8 inch paper.
When you have completed the bunny, take a picture of it and send it to: arlene.walk@butlerlibrary.org so I can add it to the Butler Library Facebook page and Instagram page. When the Library reopens, bring the bunny to the Library so we display them on one of our display tables for all to see.
