The Arvada Balsam Temporary Library is asking kids to help decorate the building for Halloween. On Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026, from 1 to 3 p.m., families can drop in at any point during the program to make spooky Halloween and fall crafts. Each piece can go on display in the library hallway or go home with its maker.
Jefferson County Public Library tags the program for toddlers, preschoolers, school-age kids and tweens. The library does not label it a homeschool program. It is an early-afternoon, weekday art activity with no set start time, which makes it an easy add to a homeschool day, and a simple outing for families whose schools are off that Tuesday.
