A little late but I've been super busy.
Vacation, the perfect time to draw children and families into the library with some awesome programs. This April Vacation (April 22nd-29th) had the theme of Spring Week. We started with the a movie night on the first Friday, we chose the movie Epic. This did not draw a crowd, probably because it wasn't a new movie.
On Monday I did a Spring Science Program. We made Rainbows in water bottles, using different densities of liquid. We also made coffee filter art, and rainclouds using shaving cream and food coloring. This program was pretty popular, 11 kids in our small town, but very messy.
On Wednesday we had a drop-in craft of three crafts: Flower Pots, Butterflies, and Picture Frames. We had very few children come to this program, but they all seemed to really enjoy themselves. I had a horrible time finding the tiny pots I wanted to use and went to four dollar trees just to get enough and ended having more than enough of them. Oh well, I can save them for next year.
On Thursday we had a Garden Party. There was a waffle bar, fruits, vegetables and pudding with oreo cookie crumbs on it. This program was very popular with 20 kids, and I almost didn't have enough food. We also did a tiny egg hunt game where everyone got to pick a prize from the prize bin if they found an egg.
On our final day, the second Friday, we decorated bird houses. This program was fairly popular but I ended up returning some of the bird houses to save money.
And that was our crazy week! All for now, next I will talk about what we have been up to in Math Club!
