After School Special

Last year we discovered a fun weekly program at our local library called After School Special. It goes on hiatus for the summer, but kicked off again last week and Grayson was very excited to go back.

They read a handful of stories (in really awesome, dramatic voices, I might add), some poetry, show a short video and do an art project. This week's art project was to take a bunch of shredded crayons and press them between two pieces of wax paper, then iron it to melt and seal it all together. They turned our pretty neat.

I'm very thankful for the creative librarians who take the time to make this program really fun for the kids. It also gets Grayson excited to bring home a bag full of new library books each week.




He insisted on cutting his into a heart shape. Not sure what happened to the right side, but we're proudly displaying it on our fridge.

It is very cool. Now put a black construction paper frame around it and hang it in the window in his room and it will look like a stain glass picture. We made these at school. Very fun!
