Finally! Kids in the library to play with!

Where have the kids been all vacation week? I guess they were out playing in the sunshine while it lasted. Today's rain brought a trio of girls, just in time to play our new game Hullabaloo by Cranium with me. It's a game that works for preschoolers but is fun for older kids and adults too. Great multi-generational game, though you do need to be fairly spry. Here is Amber doing a "funky dance" because she won the game!

Another Louie Admirer

You can see how Louie feels about Maggie by looking at the smile on his face.

King Louie

Louie did not find it particularly amusing to be forced to wear a dumb crown, even though he did look regal sitting on top of two red cushions at the front desk. He became so annoyed with Judy and me that he left the building and had to be sweet-talked into coming back.

The best kind of story time craft...

...is something good to eat! This week the children made chicks for Easter (though I bet they don't last that long). The "nest" is a cupcake, the chick is made out of two donut holes covered in yellow frosting. The beak is part of an orange gumdrop, the eyes are chocolate chips, and the grass is coconut dyed green. This recipe came from Family Fun magazine: http://jas.familyfun.go.com/recipefinder/display?id=50116

We will be taking a three-week break from storytime and will start up again the first Wednesday in May, May 2nd. All 2-5 year olds are welcome!
