The last week or so, the kids have had some big fun!
They made their own flavored lip balm, had fun at Water Wednesday and enjoyed an afternoon movie with snacks. I even got a hug from one of my favorite littles. I love that.
After storytime, we just had a fun play session.
Saturday was our monthly Stay & Play where the parents and littles had a great time playing and learning. Thank you to the Family Resource Center for being my guest this month.
It's been a busy and fun July.

Today's storytime was so much fun!
We sang songs, I read some stories, danced, read some more stories, wiggled and stomped.
After stories, I broke out the sensory bin of toys. I let them all touch and feel the different textures and play with the toys for a bit. Then, we played a game of memory.
I set the toys out and had them study them. Then, they had to turn around NO PEEKING!.
Then turn around and tell me what item was missing.
One little guy guessed correctly a couple times until I figured out that he was taking sneeky sneek peeks.
So, around they went. I love how the one little girl is squeeeeezing her eyes closed so hard!
After this, they got to open the magic cabinet and have fun followed by.....you guessed it. THE FLOOR IS LAVA!
They love that game so much.
Thank you to the grownups that brought your littles to spend time with me today and sing, dance and be silly with me. I appreciate it so much.
Oh! And I had a brand new little at Storytime today. When I say brand new. I mean BRAND NEW! She is just a week old. I do believe this is the youngest little I have had at my storytimes. She is adorable! I hope they return for more storytimes.
July is coming to a close and Summer Reading Program is in the rear view mirror. August is around the corner my friends!
See you there!

Summertime fun!
These kiddos had a bunch of fun this week.
First, they made their own flavored lip balm. I think some of the lip balm may have been eaten as it tastes so good!
Yesterday was storytime and afterwards was open play, followed by a round of requested The Floor Is LAVA!
Next was the Water Wednesday fun in the sun yesterday.
They again enjoyed the water play.
August 7th from 5:30 to 6:30 on the east side of the square will be our Wrap Up.

On July 17th at 2pm, I'm playing a movie perfect for kids and for the summer theme of COLOR OUR WORLD.
I ask that if able, each child bring their drink in a no spill container and a small package of any candy or snack item.
We will take ALL of the packages and combine in a container to make a Friendship Salad for all to enjoy.
I will be adding colorful mini marshmallows btw. 🙂
I hope to see you all there.

We had 54 present for the tie-dye on Monday!
It was a wild time!
The kiddos all made their own designs and were sent home with their project. Sorry, I was way busy and messy with dye to get any photos but just imagine a yard of children having fun with tie-dye.
Do you see it?
It was awesome!
Yesterday, there were only a few that showed up for Shadow Art. Unfortunately, the sun played games coming and going so, we made do and did some shadow art inside. 🙂 I played the sun.
Today is Storytime at 10:30 am and then tomorrow is another Crafternoon at 2pm.
