Story Time's past: You are Loved!

Our Critter Street Story times are so much fun, we wanted to share some of the great pictures and details on the blog! February's theme was "You are Loved!" We always have the coffee bar open for the grown-ups with complimentary coffee's and latte's, so make sure you don't miss the next one!

We had snacks...(here's the link to a close up of the sign!)

For craft time we had so many fun things to do! We had a fingerprinting craft, made mini bows and arrows out of q-tips, popsicle sticks and dental floss . We also modpodged hearts onto river rocks.



We had a bouncy house...

Getting ready for Story Time! Our book was "God Gave us Love" by Lisa Tawn Bergren and Laura J. Bryant and the kids loved that the puppets told the story!

We sent everyone home with a discussion card to keep the conversation going with their sweet preschoolers and a crayon heart as a gift!

We can't wait for the next one! See you there!

(Special thanks to Anglea Sieg for the wonderful pictures!)
