Virtual Story Time: Mysteries in the Stacks -- May 2024

Each month, Miss Amy records a virtual Story Time that goes along with the monthly theme.  It will be posted monthly in the morning of the first Tuesday of the month.  (The video is available to watch for one month before a new one is uploaded.) 

Click HERE for this month's virtual Story Time.

Extension Activities:
- Send your child on a scavenger hunt.  Hide their stuffies or other toys and give clues as to where to find them.
- Make a mystery box.  Cut a hole in the top of a show box.  Place mystery items inside and see if your child can determine what it is just by touch.
- Explain how fingerprints can be used to solve crimes -- that each person's fingerprint is unique.  Then have some fun making form fingerprint art.  Check out an Ed Emberley fingerprint art book from the library for inspiration.
