Family Story Time - Monday, September 26, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m, Attendance: 9 (6 children, 3 adults)
We started a monthly series of evening storytimes with this program. We've had requests so we thought we'd give it a try. I would have gone with a 7:00 p.m. start but the parents we talked to preferred 6:30. Several families signed up but most did not show up. The few who did come enjoyed themselves. Even though the group was small, the ages of the children went from around 3 to 10. The humorous stories were enjoyed by children and adults. The debut of "A Few Foolish Friends" went over very well.
Program:
Books: The Wolf Who Cried Boy by Bob Hartman
Falling for Rapunzel by Leah Wilcox
Board Stories: "The Silly Wishes" from Teeny Tiny Folktales by Jean Warren
"A Few Foolish Friends" (see post for 9/22/11)
Paper Cutting Story: "The Royal Paper Puzzle" from Handmade Tales by Diane de Las Casas
(This one is a lot easier than it looks!)
Stick Puppets: "How the Brazilian Beetle Won the Race" from Travel the Globe by Desiree Webber
Craft: Paper bag puppets of the Woodcutter and his wife from "The Silly Wishes." I made my own patterns. I made an ice cream cone as well as a sausage just for the fun of it. The children really enjoyed sticking them on the noses of the puppets (as well as their own and those of their siblings). We simply used rolled up tape to attach them.
