Our theme today was the secret lives of utensils; you'd be surprised at how many picture books cover this topic! And they're all really fun. :-)
The Runaway Dinner

GREAT read-aloud choice.
Spoon

A wonderful way to explore the notion of competition, and the fact that different individuals have different abilities and strengths.
Chopsticks

So. Many. Puns. So many. And, in between, a lovely tale about taking risks on one's own while still being a loving and supportive friend.
We also made and decorated paper placemats. We hope that our spoons, knives, forks, AND chopsticks enjoy them.
If
you have children between the ages of 4 and 6, please join us next
Tuesday from 2:00-2:45 pm, which will be the final class of the Spring 2013 session. There is no charge, and registration is not
required.
Starting on Tuesday, June 18, we will change over to the summer version of this program, called StoryCrafts. Same ages (4-6), different time (3:00-3:45 pm), and tickets are required. There is a limit of 18, and we will begin giving them out at 2:30. There is no charge for this program, but our ages and participation numbers are firm.
