Little hands worked with little beads on Tuesday as the Charles City Public Library’s Get Messy program made diamond art stickers.

Carefully sorting and placing colorful plastic diamonds onto stickers, the kids practiced their fine motor skills while making their own textured decorations for their notebooks, water bottles or anything else they want to decorate.

“You have to have a little bit of patience,” said Children’s Librarian Stacey Leerhoff.

Coming up next week at the library, Get Messy will have a snow day, creating fake snow indoors for a fake snowball fight.
