Every Wednesday at 10 am, our local library hosts “Story Time” for kids. This is an amazing opprotunity to meet other stay at home moms and dads, make new friends, and enjoy an outing learning to love reading! Does it get much better?
Sweet Pea’s favorite activity is reading. Ive caught her several times crawling into her chair in her playroom “reading” a book. Just recently, she has been coming to me with a book, opening it, and “reading” to me. LOVE these moments.
This is our 3rd week in a row to go to our library for Story Time, and let me tell you, if you have not checked out what to see what your public library is doing, you are missing out! I hope your library is doing as much for the kids in the community as ours is! From story time, to Saturday matinees, and game nights in between, I am so grateful for my library. And it’s FREE!
We pack snacks and water, head to the library, and sit in a big room with lots of other kids, parents, and 2 story tellers (librarians). We spend about 30 minutes reading 3 different books under a main theme (this week’s is bugs), singing songs (this week we sang the itsy bitsy spider, and the ants go marching), and watching some puppets get in on the action.

We started with this side of the paper, and Sweet Pea stamped her finger using the gold stamp pad provided to make birds. I drew the lines to make the body and beak. So cute. It was based out of the book Ed Emberley’s Fingerprint Drawing Book. So many things to create from your child’s finger print! The library provided a variety of stamp pads, paper, markers, and 3 copies of the book for us to flip through!

So fun! We LOVE the library too. So many great (free!) things to do and explore, as well as meet other mom and dads in the community. Thanks for sharing about your fun library experience!
