December Lyon County 4-H

Keep warm and cozy with some creative, at-home learning projects. This winter-themed kit will include four different projects and explore a variety of areas. Each activity will include the primary supplies, instructions, and additional information needed to create the different projects/activities.

These easy projects will allow 4-H members some creative time to do things independently, work together with siblings or other 4-H members, and build off of their learning. Plus, all projects can be exhibited at next year’s county fair.

Audience: All ages are welcome to participate!

Deadline: The deadline to register for your project kit is January 9, 2024
