Family Fun

We had a great time at Family Fun on Sunday! Members watched a puppet show about the library, made “Cookie Monster” parfait desserts, and created superheroes and princesses with “Make-a-Face” sticker sheets. We finished the morning by singing about making new friends for the music circle. We were glad to see lots of new friends around and watch new friendships form!

Art Club

Art club was WILD with the animal crafts on Tuesday! Friends made rainbow scratch animal masks and foam bookmarks. Bears and cats were the most popular craft! Members also made bunnies, pandas, and all sorts of other animals with socks and stuffing. Some friends even made fire-breathing dragons and hanging giraffes out of many different materials. We also painted in the gallery; we loved Meira’s toucan, Etti’s panda, and Aviva’s trees!
