i purchased this felt set on etsy.com many years ago and i still love it so it makes an appearance every December!
i also passed out paper gingerbread friends for the kids, then everyone returned to their homes to rest.
you know what goes great with gingerbread cookies?
HOT COCOA!
Flannel Board: Five Cups of Cocoa
i purchased this cute clipart on Etsy. I pulled out some puppet friends to help me with the flannel board this week!
Down around the corner at the chocolate shop
FIVE cups of cocoa, sweet & hot!
Along comes Pete the Cat with some money to pay.
He buys himself a cocoa cup & takes it away...
Countdown to ZERO cups of cocoa! Uh Oh! We better go make some more!
Jingle Bell Time:
i passed out bells to everyone and we sang our Jingle Bells & STOP! song. then everyone sang along to my Jingle Bells book to end the program.
Craft: Cocoa Ornaments & Gingerbread Friends
i purchased these adorable cocoa kits from OTC a few weeks ago. i was worried they would be too hard for toddlers but my families worked on them together & they came out so cute! everyone loved them. the cardstock gingerbread people i printed were great too!
earlier this fall, i started doing crafts during playtime (instead of after stories but before the toys came out) and it has been strangely liberating. i used to feel so rushed to hand out materials and give directions while everyone moved from our small carpet area to tables and chairs. it was always kind of chaotic for a minute or two. then i had to scramble again to get the toys as everyone finished crafting. now, the craft feels more like an option, not a requirement & i don't feel as much pressure for it to be perfect. if people want to do this cocoa craft, great! if they would rather just have playtime this week, that's perfectly ok too. this one minor change has made a HUGE difference. some of my families ask to take the craft to do at home later which is also fine with me!
i see that i am not the only librarian with hot chocolate as a theme this week! Here are some AMAZING ideas at So Tomorrow. i have to admit that i was wishing i had seen her adorable cocoa prop earlier because i would have LOVED to use it for my program. hopefully next time!
an awesome day with two perfectly sized sessions!
