Ignite Studio launches Curbside Creativity Packs to curb your quarantine boredom during Covid-19. Drive through Hamilton East Public Library’s Curbside Holds Pickup and ask about our Creativity Packs. A different pack will be available for pick up each week, starting on Fridays. Spark you creativity at home—supplies and instructions included. Available while supplies last.
Curious what to expect from these little packs with a big punch? Here is an overview of the offerings for late May 2020 through June 2020. (Date listed is the first date of distribution, but packs will be given out while supplies last each week.)
May 22—Paper Creativity Pack
Beautiful and decorative paper stars are a simple and perfect accent for at-home décor or party festivities. Plus, enjoy bonus sketching and drawing worksheets to jump-start your creativity!
