Hearts, Hats, Bears, and Mice – Oh, My!!!!!

Here's a special guest post from one of our Children's Staff Members, Ms. Janet!
 

What do these four words have in common?  Nothing you think!  Well, they will be the topics for the next four storytimes for ages 3 – 5 in February and March. 

    

Miss Bobbi will begin with reading stories about Valentine’s Day on February 13^th and making a heart wreath to hang on a door or wall.  Her stories will include Valentine Mice, A Circle is Not a Valentine, Mouse’s First Valentine, and more.  Come get your “Valentine” on!

     

For Hats on February 20th, Miss Janet will stylishly wear a variety of hats as she reads Jennie’s Hat, Big Pig’s Hat, This is the Hat, Brimsby’s Hats, and A Hat for Minerva Louise.  The craft you will be making is a winter hat and/or newspaper hat.  There will be a parade of hats and you’ll leave with a one of a kind chapeau!

         

                                                       

 Miss Joyce will then take the next 2 weeks and read stories about polar bears and mice.  On February 27^th, you’ll get to make a polar bear mask after listening to Because I Love You so Much, The Three Snow Bears, The Practically Perfect Pajamas, and I Love You with All my Heart.

Then on March 6^th, Miss Joyce will read Three Blind Mice, The Completed Hickory Dickory Dock, The Girl Who Wouldn’t Brush Her Hair, The Mouse and the Apple, Mouse Paint, and The Lion and the Mouse.  Then you will make a Hickory Dickory Dock clock with mice.

            

So come visit us on the next four Thursdays for Storytime at 10:30 AM. Bring your grandma, mom, or friends with you and learn all you can about hearts, hats, bears, and mice from the  Children’s Department.
