Fun Summer Programs at the library

I have been meaning to post this for some time now, but I wanted to make sure all our fun was covered! We LOVE our library here, they are always full of fun free programs for kids of all ages. It really feels nice and welcoming when as soon as you step into the children's dept everyone knows you and the kids.

This year's summer reading program theme was superheroes. It started with sign up and a fun photo set up in the activity room!

We got to see Ronald McDonald again at the library! This guy is awesome and always gets the kids going.

They even had a family friendly Doctor Who party!!!

And one of our last events for the summer was an egg drop. The kids were given tons of different materials and had to build a craft to drop a semi hard boiled egg down 2 flights of stairs.

They didn't break!!!

Comic Book Day

I tried to post this last week, but blogger was acting up! The last week of September, the group had a comic book day. The kids got to dress up as their favorite superheros, and join us at the library for a fun craft day. I had homemade comic books for the kids to make, banners to celebrate a superhero, and fun coloring pages. For a snack I made funfetti cupcakes, with funfetti frosting, and then made candy stars in superhero colors with candy melts to top them with.

It was just a half hour before we had to be at the event that I came up with some fun ideas that I just wish I had thought of earlier! One was to build a "brick" wall with these Melissa and Doug blocks for our heroes to punch through! Another one was to draw a building side on a large sheet of paper, lay it on the floor, and tape a rope to the top on the floor. Then take a picture of your hero climbing up the side of a building!
