Easter Egg

 

Earth Friend

Jennifer shared two fun crafts with us. First is the Egg Painting activity that her Messy Art Club had the joy of doing. She includes step by step on how the program went, as well as a supplies list (240 eggs were purchased! That’s a lot of eggs.).

View the blog: http://inshortbusy.blogspot.com/2014/04/messy-art-club-painting-eggs.html

Second she shared her program “Annual Spring Break T-Shirt Party”, which looks like fun for all ages! This is a great way to keep children busy while school is out.

Spring Break T-Shirt Party

 

Travis shared this information for a fun Earth Day activity: “Go for a nature walk and pick some leaves. The first lesson I learned in botany is that plant identification starts with the different shapes of leaves, all so different, veined and beautiful. These are so much fun to do with the broad end of a broken crayon. I added a little fine detail to mine, while Myla, across from me, added some stars in the sky to hers. This is a very simple craft with a lot of room for creativity. It really celebrates the beauty of nature.”  Below is a picture of the activity Travis did along with the nature walk. I love the simplicity of this, and it could even be used again in the fall.

Nature Walk Craft

Need book ideas to use with this activity? Take a look here: http://www.squidoo.com/garden-storytime

I’m sharing the egg paintings that my little helpers & I did at home this weekend. First I did food coloring and water, to paint with eggs for Nivea. This would be cute for a toddler activity if you didn’t want to get messy with paint. For babies I suggest you find a great way to strap down the cup, because I simply taped it, and Nivea tossed the water every where.

Food color painting with Nivea.

Second Kiley painted with paint using plastic eggs, and it went really well. She made some neat designs and looked on Pinterest to find some different ways to use the eggs.

Chantelle sent in three Storytime shares from the Cockburn Library this week. First is Storytime with Karen, which is themed B for Babies! If the books weren’t already cute enough, the craft really brings some cuteness. Take a look at it –

I’m sharing a robot my sister & myself made during the time the blog was down last week. The items we used were: a formula can (we have tons), construction paper, magazine scraps, and hardware supplies.

Storytimes, Outreach & Programs

Larissa Stretton shares with us her “April Fool’s” Storytime.

The session started out with this wonderful nonfiction easy book. The 4 and 5 year olds loved it!

Once the book was finished she asked the children if they had their own rock collections they had at home. Larissa then shared her little rock collection.

For craft time the kids had a chance to paint their own rocks. Since it was April Fool’s day the kids glued a thin strip of paper that said “turn me over” to the top of their rocks.  (Now take a second to think this one over….Imagine yourself getting a rock from one of these kids and you turn it over, you now realize you took orders from a rock! I’m sure they giggled their little butts off at this quite a few times.)

While the kids waited for the craft to dry, they listened to another book.

 

Larissa thank you for your funny share! I’ve been given one of these rocks before and I felt a little silly afterwards turning it over. It’s a great craft for the kids to do.

Susan Jeffery shares the ever so popular Library Village blog. This post features why Baby Storytime is important. (Let me say if you haven’t checked out their page on Facebook, please do they are fabulous! )

Check out the post here: http://libraryvillage.blogspot.com/2014/04/baby-story-time-story-time-matters.html

 

Keren Joshi brings to us Fun with Math, and while the two words don’t normally sound good together in a sentence, her post proves otherwise. This program brings education and fun together in such a fashion that kids will want to come back for more.

Jane McManus shares these cute bookmarks that children and adults alike would love.

Jane also shared Reduce, reuse, recycle from the MCLSKids wiki. She said “You just pop a few left-over pieces from past crafts, and let the child create what he desires. I do keep extra eyes, brads, foam shapes, etc. on hand in case MORE is needed to complete a project. “

Travis Sherman shared some great inexpensive art ideas. She said, “I love experimenting with a couple bottles of paint and some weird paint medium.” Take a look at these ideas –

Bubblewrap paintbrush:

Collage: Snake Puppet:

Moons:

Lucianne Pastorello-Espino shared these cute crafts she made during her programs.

 

Chantelle McLeod shared a Dr. Seuss craft done recently at her library. The book they read was: “There’s a wocket in my pocket”  She said,” I gave the kids sheets of paper, pulled out all the scraps I had and let them go for it with glue, scissors and crayons. They made some awesome Wockets, some even came up with their own creatures.This craft was a real hit, the only cost was the sheet of paper. The kids had fun making up rhyming names for their creatures.”

This is a ‘Zandpit’ from Brent’s sandpit!

Marcy Zarudny shared this information on coffee filter with clothes pegs butterflies.

Marcy said,”The coffee filters are cheap – a whole package for $1.  Then if you have eye droppers which can be sold new or if you happen to have them around and have washed them out, they are great for this.  Either dip them in watered down paint or water with a touch of food colouring and let them run down the filter which will absorb them.” She then added. “Another idea that I saw and tried it, was easy. Let children use markers all over a filter then either use the eye dropper to drop water on the filter (for a more controlled process) or a SMALL spray bottle which they can spray with our without help on the marker colours to make them run.  Then let dry and put in your clothes peg to make a butterfly.  You can insert a pipe cleaner at top for antennae.”

Lisa Shaia shared “It’s A Tiger” from the Thrive After Three blog. Not only does it provide a fun tiger craft, but also a book to go along with it. Any tiger lover will have fun doing this craft.

Crafts

I’m sharing this egg filled painting craft that would be great to do at home or with a small group of kids in the Library. Kids love to be destructive so what better way than to throw eggs and paint at the same time!

View it here :http://www.growingajeweledrose.com/2013/10/paint-filled-eggs-on-canvas.html

Penny Richardson says” Owls seem to be all the rage so here is an owl craft for you all to do.”  This craft makes great use of all those toilet paper and paper towel rolls laying around.

Robin Rockman did a Moose themed Storytime for her Preschool groups this week. She says, “This went well with my first group, but it was a HUGE hit with my second group. Before we started, I wore my moose ears and the kids loved it and thought it was so funny!” She put up the letters MOOSE on the flannel board to make the connection.

The books she read include: Moose Tracks by Karma Wilson, Looking for a Moose by Phyllis Root, and Duck, Duck, Moose by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen. She added “With Duck, Duck, Moose, I really emphasized the MOOSE with a loud MOOOOOOOOSE.”

The craft included the moose ears as you see her pictured in. Robin said, “The parents primarily had to make it, but the kids had a lot of fun with them after. They would go “MOOOOOSE!” to each other and ask their mom’s to take a picture. They looked so cute and really enjoyed their moose ears!”

 Other songs and flannel activities all related to moose, were included but the highlight was definitely the ears.
