Our December Science Saturday is always a hit. Each year we host a Sustainable Holiday event, creating fun crafts out of natural and reusable materials and displaying recycled gift wrapping ideas. This year we made holiday cards our of recycled magazines, pine-cone ornaments, tree cookie gifts, and magnets out of reusable materials. Our sustainable gift wrapping display featured alternative materials including magazines, reusable bags, scarves, chip bags, reusable containers and more. We had over 100 participants during the event.

Since the event was so much fun, we decided to continue it for our programs with the Boys and Girls Club of Flagstaff the following week. We can conclude: the sustainable holiday crafts program was a huge success!
