1/11 Teddy Bear Art Blast
Teddy Bear Picnic Party offers two great stories and two super fun projects to choose from. Take
your pick! Either way, children will have a blast creating these unique reminders of a wonderful day!
1/18 Frosting and Sprinkles
Paint and decorate a ceramic cupcake bank with lots of yummy colors. Art explorers can use their
banks to save up books. (And maybe for cupcakes!)
1/25 Loony Letter ART-ventures
Engage in the wonderfully musical and beloved story of Chica Chicka, Boom Boom. Then design an
awesome collage on a large cardboard letter (we suggest using each child’s first initial). Add
buttons and bling, ribbons and bows, and other sparkling things. Or use camouflage paints and
add rubber bugs, lizards, and snakes! Perfect to hang on your bedroom door.
2/1 Ahoy Matey: A Pirate Adventure
This exciting art-venture is perfect for both boys and girls! Enjoy an animated storytelling of The
Pirate Cruncher, a hilarious tale about a pirate ships whose treasure hunt is interrupted by a
terrifying ocean creature. Then paint and decorate a wooden rowboat with oars and prepare to set
sail on your own high seas voyage. But be sure to steer clear of sea monsters!
2/8 Creepy Crawly Bug Boxes
Immersed in the lovely verse and brilliant oil paintings of David Kirk’s beloved story, Little Miss
Spider, children decoupage colorful paper mache boxes. Then, like Little Miss Spider, who sets out
to search for her mother, the children set out on a bug hunt, searching for rubber insects hidden
throughout the room. Finders keepers!
2/15 Totally Terrific Totem Poles
Children will be enchanted as the carved wooden animals of Totem Tale spring to life to argue over
who should sit where in the totem pole order. Then children grab their paint brushes and their
creativity to bring their own beautiful totem poles to life!
