I Just got back from my monthly YASD meeting, and once again I'm full of new ideas from my awesome fellow Suffolk Teen Services librarians. Hauppauge librarian extraordinaire Catherine LaStella, shared this great project idea with us called "Gummy Bear Surgery." Using cut up pieces of gummy bears and other gummy candy, teens can make mutant gummy creatures and choose to release them into the wild or eat them. The results are deliciously demented.Also you must check out the Hauppauge Library teen blog, Teen Frequency. It really sets the standards of a cool teen library blog.

I love this idea! I told my teens about it and we're planning on doing this for an upcoming program.
ReplyDeleteI know Catherine LaStella always comes up with the coolest ideas. This program is definitely on the to do list for me too. Good excuse to head over to the local candy store as well!
