Washington County 4-H offers holiday gift box

In a year like 2020, it is the perfect time to spread extra holiday cheer and Washington County 4-H wants to help kids do this by offering a Do-It-Yourself Holiday Gift Box. This creative, hands-on box is meant for K - 5th graders to explore several varieties of art creations, try something new, develop a new skill and have fun. 4-H membership is not required to participate.

Each box will include instructions, supplies to create 5 unique gifts, wrapping paper, bows, and greeting cards. Completed projects could be kept to enjoy, give as a gift, or be fun activities to complete during school break.
