Things Are Popping!

If you love pop-up books like I do, you will enjoy these favorites. A perennial crowd favorite is One Red Dot by David Carter. We made sun catchers using large plastic lids, white glue, and an assortment of confetti, glitter, and tissue paper. Pop on over to story time for crafts, books, and fun!

Little Critter has a bad dream.
