Book Review from the library 


 We enjoyed this book. There are so many ideas in here that I wouldn't have thought of myself, and I liked that you can simply pick an activity depending on how much time you have that day. Some are very easy, while others give you something a little more involved to do together.

The autumn theme makes the book especially fun, and I can see myself coming back to it whenever we're stuck for something to do. I particularly liked the mix of creative and outdoor ideas rather than having page after page of the same type of activity.

A really useful book to keep around during the fall, especially on those days when you hear, "I'm bored!" and need an idea quickly.

Saturday at the library

Welcome to our community library and circle time with us. Today we are celebrating Talk like a Pirate day! 


It’s Pirate Day and our little bird friend is super excited to dress up as a pirate and take to the high sea! The bird can’t wait to experience the life of a seafaring pirate such as going on treasure hunts and wild adventures. But will the little bird truly enjoy being a pirate for the day or will it regret it’s decision? Read along as you and your child will once again enjoy the silly antics of this quirky bird!

This is a read aloud kids book and is easy to read. The target age range is for toddlers, preschool and young children.



Paper plates crafts.....
Our treat : we are hunting for treasure.

Color My World


Today's watercolor item is this colorful pumkin. Perfect for the end of September.  



DIY Pumpkin Coaster

 






Cut out 2 squares for each pumpkin, about 7" x 6", large enough for the pattern with an extra .5"-1" around all sides. 





Cut out 2 pieces of fuslible fleece the same size as the fabric pieces and press to the wrong side of the fabric. (or skip this step and when you layer the fabrics just layer cotton batting between the fabric pieces. 

On one piece of fabric trace the pumpkin pattern on the center of the fabric with an erasable or washable pen. 

Place the two pieces together with the fusible fleece sides in the middle and right sides of fabric out. 

Sew along the traced line, starting at one of the center points that dip in to the middle of the pumpkin.

When you get back to the center stitch down the center of the pumpkin in a curved line, then back up curving the line in the opposite direction, When you are back at the starting point repeat again curving the line out further as shown in the diagram below. If you prefer you could draw these lines on before sewing but I just freehand stitched them on. Trim around the edge of the coaster with pinking shears.Cut a piece of ribbon about 2"-2.5" long, fold in half and place over the top of the coaster with the fabric sandwiched between (you can fold up the ends to the middle of the ribbon if you don't want the edges raw or are worried about fraying), sew across the bottom of the ribbon to make the stem. 

If you used heat erasable pens give your coasters a quick press to remove the pen lines.
