PAWS-BHM presents “Crafting for Critters 2026” at the Mt. Laurel Public Library!
Tweens will “rip-n-snip” old t-shirts into braided rope toys and create sock toys from recycled water bottles—all to benefit shelter pets. Make toys to donate, plus take one home for your own pet! Registration is required; please sign up using the link above or at mtlaurellibrary.org so we’ll know how many supplies to bring!

Can’t wait to see you there!
Not sure what to expect? Below are scenes from “Crafting for Critters – 2025!” We had such a great time with these awesome kids who joined us! They each learned how to upcycle old t-shirts and transform them into cool braided rope toys for shelter pets as they await adoption!
If you’re one of the kids who braided rope toys at our previous workshop and would like to see which adoptable pet received your toy, please click HERE!
We want to thank our donors who donated t-shirts, socks, and other supplies for this event through our recent “PAWS 2 Recycle” donation drives, as well as the Mt Laurel Public Library for hosting our event through their Summer Reading Program!
