Every library should have a handful of quick and easy makerspace projects on hand. Here’s a quick list with resources for your reference:
Paper Circuits: A piece of paper, some copper conductive tape, a small battery, printable templates, and an LED light bulb is all you need to set up this project. Go to Makerspaces.com for paper circuit kits and instructions.
SparkFun also has kits and downloadable templates available.
Marble Run: Don’t lose your marbles! Just grab some craft sticks and a cardboard box to set up this fun marble maze. Frugal Fun for Boys and Girls has instructions and pictures.
Pom Pom Drop: Collect toilet paper and paper towel rolls, then grab some colorful tape and a cheap pom pom ball to make this cool project from Coffee Cups and Crayons.
Newspaper Projects: If you have some newspaper to recycle, try upcycling in these projects from Edventures with Kids!
Cardboard Loom: Try your hand at weaving with this cardboard loom from Instructables.
Microwave Ivory Soap: When in doubt, microwave your Ivory soap and watch it grow.
Check out these projects, then peruse the other projects available on these sites to find some quick and easy projects for the kids in your library!
