Book Buddy Club

This summer our church is offering a variety of children's activities to keep the kids entertained and not just sitting around the house. The first activity was for preschool children and was entitled "Book Buddy Club." They had a ton of activities planned that centered around a particular book. Of course, I don't remember the name of the book, but the moral of the story was excellent. It was about a fish that had many different colored scales and gave all away except for one. The twins learned that it is enjoyable to give things away that in turn make other people happy.

First, they made sparkle fish out of play-doh.




Preston's finished fishy:)

Grant made a sparkly heart fish...

Next, the children's director read the book...

Then they split up into groups and Preston was so happy to be with Ms. Keri

Ms. Keri put sticky mirrors on the children to represent their scales to pass away to the moms in the room...the idea was for the kids to only have one mirror left when the music quit playing.

With all that action, of course, the kids were starving:) We gave them plates with blue icing, marshmallow topping, colored goldfish, and pretzel sticks. They went fishing...too cute!


LOVE the marshmallow mustache.

Finally, they danced like slow and fast fish to some music waving around scarves.

The boys had a blast...we can't wait for the next activity!
