Attack of the Easter Bunnies!
Just kidding. We had fun this week at Story Time talking about bunnies and Easter. We read Bunny Days by Tao Nyeu, I Need an Easter Egg by Harriet Ziefert, Bunny Bunny by Kirsten Hall, The Bunnies Picnic by Lezlie Evans, What's the Matter Bunny Blue by Nicola Smee and my personal favorite, The Runaway Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown. I am sometimes amazed by the classics by Brown, they are so timeless in their style and stories that even decades after they were first published children still respond well to them. The children and I discussed what other things we could runaway and become like the bunny in the story. Some good ones were a sheep, and mother could be a shepard, an astronaut and mother could become a rocketship, a monster and mother could become a superhero. The best suggestion came from 5 year old Trey, he said a germ and mother could become soap.

We pulled out the parachute and played "Make the bunny hop" with a stuffed toy rabbit and then we made some bunny masks from my new die-cut mask making set. This was our final
Story Time for the session.

Next session will be the summer program for 3-6 year olds. This year the theme will be One World, Many Stories. Registeration begins June 7th.
