We talked about rain for a little bit and then I read Red Rubber Boot Day by Mary Lyn Ray. This was just the right amount of length before the group got antsy.
I explained the two crafts and we got to painting some raindrops and rain puddles. It was good that the kids got to experience at least two types of ways to paint, with their hands/paint brushes and with pom poms attached to clothespins.
Our first craft was a rain boot puddle craft using blue paint and our fingers or paint brushes. Mostly everyone chose to use a combination of their hands and the brushes. The kids made a rain puddle with paint and then glued their rain boots on top.
Our second craft was an umbrella raindrop craft. We used the pom pom clothespins for dipping into blue paint and pressing them onto our paper to make raindrops. We tried not to have raindrops under our umbrella.
One of my regular, sweet families gave me some Easter candy and that made my day. I really enjoy seeing every family at the library enjoying their time together and growing together.
