Children Can Craft Gifts for Presidents

Children can craft a colorful collage for Jimmy Carter or a glittering gift for the Gipper at the Ronald Reagan library todayor next Saturday

To coincide with a museum exhibit of items from presidential storerooms, library officials are inviting children to make gifts for their favorite living American president.

Once kids create their concoctions with paint, glitter, feathers, beads and ice cream sticks, their goodies will be exhibited at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum before being shipped to the appropriate commander in chief.

The craft sessions are free with admission to the exhibit, called “Tokens and Treasures: Gifts to Twelve Presidents,” which continues through November.

The library, at 40 Presidential Drive, is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Admission is free for children under 15. Museum general admission is $4 or $2 for senior citizens 62 or older.
