Join us Friday January 14th for a storytime all about winter and the snow! For our craft this week we'll be creating simple winter tree art that lets your little one have fun with finger painting! All you need is a piece of blue paper / construction paper (any color will do if you don't have blue!), a black marker, white paint, and a Q-tip or the end of a paintbrush for adding snow dots. See you Friday!

Wear your jammies, bring your teddy bear, and get cozy for a storytime all about bedtime and sleep on January 28th!
