Saturday Creative Activities for Kids at J.-Henri-Blanchard Library

Get creative this October with free, hands-on arts and crafts activities for children ages 6 and up at the J.-Henri-Blanchard Public Library in Summerside!

Every Saturday morning, young artists are invited to explore their imaginations, discover new crafting techniques and create colourful projects inspired by autumn and Halloween.

From adorable woodland animals and colourful fall leaves to spooky ghosts and festive scarecrows, each week features a different creative activity.

These French-language workshops offer a fun and welcoming environment where school-aged children can express their creativity, develop artistic skills and enjoy time with other young crafters.
