Maybe it&#39;s because I start thinking about holiday gifts, or the cooler weather makes me want to curl up under an afghan I&#39;m knitting. Crafts can be a great break from schoolwork and can help you develop your dexterity, creativity and skills sets. Kinesthetic learners can especially enjoy and benefit from crafting.</p> <p>McCollough Branch is offering a four-week series of crafts for teen and tweens, grades 3-12. On September 23, we&#39;ll be making fancy flip flops. All materials (including flip flops) will be provided, but you may bring a pair of flip flops that fit you if you like. Over the next few weeks we&#39;ll be doing origami, making no-sew amigurumi and crafting &quot;Gocks&quot; (Goth sock puppets). Join us at 3:00 pm on Tuesday afternoons through October 14.&nbsp; </p>
