Soupy Story Time

Virtual Story Time

This week, we are reading stories about soup! What is your favorite soup?

We are excited that Miss Linda joined us to read a story this week. She was a little nervous about reading on camera, so be sure to tell her you liked her story if you see her. We think she did an awesome job!

Check out the stories below and then take a look at the recipe for Mexicali soup we have shared. It cooks in one pot and it is easy enough that parents can have some “little helpers” assist in making the soup. This recipe is very mild, too!

This week, Miss Theresa is sharing a couple stories about hats! Hats are great for when you are having a “bad hair day,” when you just want to wear something fun, or if you need to keep your head warm. Do you have a hat you like the wear?

Have you ever made a hat out of newspaper? This classic craft is fun and easy. Check out the tutorial in the link below. And if you need newspaper, we have plenty at the library ready for recycling. Just ask!

Another Snowy Story Time

Virtual Story Time

We are ready for spring! Aren’t you? Hopefully this will be the last time we feel inspired to do a story time about snow this season. Listen to our stories and then check out the fun craft kit you can pick up at the library!

Our craft this week is a kit you pick up at the library. Kids will use a pencil eraser to make snowflakes surrounding their snowman. You can make a big pile of snow like Miss Megan did, and then color in your snowman. The snowman coloring page and the pencil are provided in the kit. All you need to provide at home is the paint.
