Scissors, paper, glue, and plenty of imagination: After summer break, the popular “Creative Kids” event series will resume at the Idar-Oberstein City Library. The library invites all children ages five and up to join in on creative craft afternoons, where they’ll paint, design, cut, and glue in ways that reflect the season.

The event kicks off on Friday, August 14, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Under the theme “Worlds of Paper Plates,” young craft enthusiasts will transform simple paper plates into imaginative works of art. There are no limits to their creativity.

Participation is free. Since space is limited, the City Library asks that you register in advance by calling 06781/64-5270 or sending an email to stadtbibliothek@idar-oberstein.de.

The City Library is looking forward to welcoming many young artists and to a creative start after summer break.
