Welcome to my storytime blog! I have created a Virtual Storytime room with some stories and fun activities for you to do at home when you can't make it to the library. Stories and activities are changed every couple of weeks. You can also access past story blogs by using the sidebar search box.

Family

"You must remember, family is often born of blood, but it doesn't depend on blood. Nor is it exclusive of friendship. Family members can be your best friends, you know. And best friends, whether or not they are related to you, can be your family." 
― Trenton Lee Stewart, The Mysterious Benedict Society


STORYTIME:
Quakenstein Hatches an Egg
by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen; illustrated by Brian T. Jones


Guji Guji

ART:
  • PICASSO INSPIRED FAMILY ART Get a stack of old
    magazines that you are allowed to cut up. Cut out pictures of faces. Then, cut the faces apart -- eyes, ears, noses, mouths, and hair until you have stacks of each of the individual facial features. Next, get a blank piece of paper and a glue stick. Last, choose different facial features to create a unique (and wacky) Picasso-style portrait of yourself and/or a family member. [Inspired by La DADA de L'Enfant website.]
