The Wiscasset Public Library welcomed the month of May by getting back outside for story hour. After reading “In The Woods: Who’s Been Here?” by Lindsay Barrett George, the group stepped outside with pencils and worksheets on discovering with our senses. The children explored the back yard and took note of new sounds, smells, sights and textures.
The group also enjoyed the classic story of “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle and gathered at the craft table to create our own caterpillar sitting on a nice big green leaf. By using multi colored pom-poms and glue, the children matched color to a number assigned on a big green leaf made of construction paper for the project.
Story hour is every Thursday at 10:30 at the Wiscasset Public Library children’s room. The library is located at 21 High Street Wiscasset. For more information, please call 207-882-7161. All good listeners are welcome to enjoy a few stories and an activity to follow.
