Gnome Away From Home

 

We have a fun program at the library called "Away From-Home Gnome". We provide a picture of a gnome printed on cardstock. Kiddos color in their gnome and cut him (or her? are there girl gnomes?) out. When they go someplace fun like vacation, to the park, or to a friends house they take a picture of their gnome. They bring their picture back to us at the library and we will display the pictures. This is a picture of my gnome in my garden smelling my beautiful basil. I haven't gone on vacation yet so my gnome took a "staycation" in our back yard :-)

How Do Your Flowers Grow?

I will be using this flannel board in a S.T.E.M program I will be presenting. We will be talking about the parts of a flower: petals, stem, leaves, and roots. We will also talk about what a flower needs to grow: water, soil, and sunshine.

We will also be growing seeds in a CD case. I got this great idea from Pinterest. It was a pin from a very creative lady The Crafty Crow . I am super excited to do this program.

Theme Song
Sung to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell"
The farmer plants the seeds
The farmer plants the seeds
Hi, ho, and cherry o
The farmer plants the seeds.
     * The rain begins to fall.
     * The sun begins to shine.
     * The plants begin to grow.
     * The buds all open up.
     * The flowers smile at me.
