*Cloverbud activity materials: As part of the session, we will be leading a twig weaving activity for youth. Each child will need: child-safe scissors,a twig with lots of branches, a weavable material (such as yarn, string, natural vines from the yard, etc.), and items such as leaves, feathers, or other things to decorate the creation. Most likely, an adult will need to tie the first knot to get the weaving going and may need to help with any cutting too.
