Bird Mobiles at Niles Library

I had a delightful time teaching Birding to a good size group of young ones at the Niles Library. While they colored 8 birds, I explained what species the different birds were and what they eat etc. The children spent a good deal of time coloring their birds-some as close to the likeness as they could, others using their imaginations to the fullest. After coloring all 8 birds, the children then attached them to the birdhouse part of the mobile. Everyone left with smiles on their faces. I even had 2 adult women also ask if they could do the craft, even though they did not have children. Thanks Sally for a fun day of creating!

Critter Pics

Christie's Critters has a new addition to the family-A Ball Python whose name is Sinbad. He is very sweet and gentle. You'll also notice an updated photo of Torch, the Bearded Dragon. She is now about 10 inches long, and I'll admit-my favorite. Her personality is amazing. Checkers, the Corn Snake is over 2 foot long now and is also very sweet and gentle. If you haven't already booked a Pet Program, you really should. Parents and children alike love the show and the educational benefits are a plus. I also do birthday parties with these facinating creatures.

Next Program is at Niles Library

On Tuesday, August 4th at 2pm, we will be creating Bird House Mobiles to take home. Come join us for a fun-filled hour of birding at the Niles Library. www.aclibrary.org click on branches, then Niles.

A Bunch of Animals in Benicia

A cool breeze came in just as we began the animal program in Benicia. Cool Fuzzy Frames to color, and animal bookmarks to make. All ages enjoyed this activity. I had toddlers all the way up to teen boys and dads busy creating their masterpieces! I asked one dad where his son went and he answered, "Outside to play with the chalk". I then asked if he was enjoying coloring the frame and he answered with an excited "Yes!". The children finished off the evening enjoying chalk art outdoors.

Swimming Good Time in Newark

A hot summer day is the perfect time to create a fish and visor at the Newark Library. The kids spent a good deal of time creating their idea of the prettiest fish, then made themselves a visor to ward off the summer sun. Toddlers to tweens-they all had a swimming good time!

Sand Art at Irvington

What a fantastic time we had at Irvington Library! 70 kids plus parents making sand art pictures. The children were very creative and certainly enjoyed playing with the sand. The parents were just as enthusiastic and tried to "help" their little ones. We were wall to wall full of fun!!
