Get Creative- Week #1 Photos

Our "Get Creative with Reading" activity table included a word search page, salt bag alphabet tracing, and a newspaper scrap sensory bin with cube letters.

We searched for hidden alphabet letters, then folded down the matching plate tabs.

Searching for letters at one of the branches.

For our craft, we made crazy hair bookmarks!




A sampling of the finished product (we even had a pirate in the mix!)!

And of course, Anna and Elsa had to migrate into the frame as well!

Spring Story Time 2014: Get Creative!


Spring 2014 Story Time is almost here!  Beginning Monday, February 24th, Pat and I will be visiting Ozark Regional's eight library branches with a box full of supplies- hello to ten weeks of stories, music, games, activity tables, and craft projects!  Some things to look forward to: making crazy hair bookmarks in week one, having a cotton ball “cloud” race in week five, painting with magnets in week six, and reading If I Had a Robot in week ten!

You can find a complete story time schedule in the left-hand column of this blog or at the library's website under the "Programs and Events" tab.  If you're more of a paper person, you can also stop by your local library in person to pick up a colorful, printed calendar of events.

Join us for Spring Story Time as we get creative with the arts!

Keep reading!
