Craft: Leaf Necklace
Children colored a cardstock leaf cutout before stringing it onto curling ribbon along with pony beads. It was then tied into a necklace.
Literacy Extensions:
- After reading Leaves by David Ezra Stein, learn about hibernation and which animals hibernate during the winter.
- Make a leaf collage. Pick up fallen leafs and see what kind of picture your child can make with those leaves.
Notes:
Story Time was not held on Monday as the library was closed for a Staff Development Day.
I like to use curling ribbon with the younger kids when making necklaces. It is thick enough that the beads do not fall off after they are slid on. Also, it is stiffer which makes it easier for the kids to handle and to thread on beads.
