Week 7 - Scary Monsters!?!? AKA Cupcake Madness! with the Little Einsteins!

Mrs. Giles playing some silly monster games with the Little Einsteins and special Guest Spiderman!

So this Tuesday marked our last visit from the Little Einsteins for the Summer Reading Club! Rhonda went all out with the stories, crafts and snacks for this one! And wow! There were a lot of Little Einsteins for today! We had 19 kids and their parents/guardians join us in the morning, and what a lovely day it was!

Rhonda started things of choosing some classic songs from her usual repertoire of kids' songs! Then moved on to some games she had prepared that went along with our theme for the week!

After their singing and once the kids had settled into their seats once again Rhonda went on to read a couple of monster books to the kids!

It's so fun to watch Rhonda reading to the kids, the Little Einsteins totally soak it all in and Rhonda is so animated and fun!

One of the books she read through was a Sesame Street book from Grover called "The Monster at the End of this Book". This book is ridiculously hilarious! The first page starts with Mr. fuzzy Grover heeding a warning to the reader, and totally breaking the 4th wall, that their is a monster at the end of this book! :O And Grover warns you, don't turn the page! If you don't turn the page well, then you won't have to see the monster! Right?

Seriously I need an adult size version of that Spiderman hoodie, adorable!

But no no no, Rhonda turned the page, and AH! that definitely makes Grover very anxious and border-line mad!

It's hilarious and the kids loved it! Every page would end with NO! DON'T TURN THE PAGE!!!!! and Rhonda would ask, "Well, should we turn the page!?" to which the kids would all scream "YES!"

In desperation, Grover tried blocking the reader from turning the page, he ties string and even cement bricks the pages, but nothing can withhold the screams and commands of the Little Einsteins!

Week 4 - Ants in Your Pants Picnic! with the Little Einsteins!

Brothers Tim and Ben getting ready for some more stories with our ant crafts! 

This morning Rhonda, our fantastic and awesome children’s librarian, returned back to the library after a weekend wedding down in Vancouver! She came back right into the swing of things and was off running to prepare for the Little Einsteins this morning from 10-11am. This week Rhonda and the Little Einsteins were talking about some fun summer activities! Fishing out on the water and having warm, cozy picnics at the park were topics discussed!

Crafts!

The sing-a-long songs, actions and story time readings enchanted the kids! They read stories about ants and their crazy shenanigans! After that they went right into the fun craft of the day in making their own egg-carton ants along with some delicious watermelon, hotdogs and ice cream cut outs to appease their ants’ appetites!

The kids had a blast! Cutting out and gluing odds and ends together, bending their ants’ pipe cleaner antennae and legs, and my favourite thing! – watching the parents and guardians help out their little ones in crafting away their crafts!

Working together in the family! :)
