Mr. Carrot-Fish

So, we waited a week so see what sort of silliness Mr. Pinkfish would get into for Easter. You see, he rode in a on a magic carpet once, wore a Dr. Seuss hat and St. Patrick’s Day hat, stays warm in a winter coat (glove) and dry in a raincoat (plastic sandwich bag), and loves to create his own costumes.

There was a lot of giggling from Mr. Pinkfish and his best friend, Beauregard, as they waited for the children to settle. Bearegard showed himself first, his “bunny ears” peeking through the materials cart. After saying hello to everyone, Beauregard prepared to listen to the story and we got down to the business of figuring out what Mr. Pinkfish would be wearing. Would he look like an egg? A piece of candy? A bunny? We could hardly wait for him to appear!

Mr. Pinkfish was renamed Mr. CARROT-fish today in honor of his costume… and we all reminded Beauregard not to nibble on him as they sat together for stories!

Busy Bees will return for stories on May 2^nd and May 3^rd with the PA One Book program. This story time proper may run a little shorter than usual as there will then be stations to visit afterwards (puzzles, games, books, flippers to try, a wooden shoe to tie...)

You may visit all of them or none of them. We will have the room until 2:00PM and 12:00PM on those days.

Have a lovely Easter!

Pretty Eggs "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" I woke up on one Easter morning. I opened my eyes and looked round. And on this special Easter morning, I saw eggs all over the ground! Orange, yellow, Pink and blue and purple too, Pretty eggs -- Come here, and I'll share some with you. Robbie the Rabbit Robbie the rabbit is fat, fat, fat. (Pat your belly) His soft little paws go pat, pat, pat. (Tap one hand with the other) His soft little ears go flop, flop, flop.
