I HEART YOU !

I HEART YOU!

This program was planned for February 13th but winter gave us snow and ice and the library was closed. Southerners love our rare snow days. I presented the program in March and the kids enjoyed the stories and craft. I displayed twelve books on LOVE and 
 I handed each child a  small wooden heart to place by the book they loved best.
 Can you judge a book by it's cover?  The winners were: 

Zombie in love/ Kelly DiPucchio- 4

Paul Bunyan's Sweetheart/ Marybeth Lorbiecki- 4

Lovey and Dovey/Melissa Walker -3

Pearl Barley and Charlie Parsley/ Aaron Blabey- 2

Woof: a love Story/Sarah Weeks- 1

Falling for Rapunzel/Leah Wilcox- 1






The Craft


I used a template to trace hearts on medium weight cardboard.
I cut them out and notched them and  I  balled some lively colored yarn spread them out on a table.
Each child had a two hearts one 4 1/2" and 3". They wrapped the hearts until the cardboard was covered and they were puffy. I had a 15 minute cartoon planned for them to watch while they had a snack but they were totally into wrapping their hearts. They even ignored the snacks and I had to bring them to them at the last 5 minutes of the program.
 I played B is for Bob produced by Zizzy Marley during the craft so we were all peaced out.
 It was a nice and fuzzy time.
