| Craft ideas: |
| • |
Make a feeling meter for yourself (Volunteers who want to bring craft parts ahead of time - bring a paper joiner of some sort to hold pieces of paper together as they twirl around the center).
|
| • |
Make masks of different feeling faces.
|
| • |
Make Star costumes, with hat and glasses.
|
*Note: These craft ideas are just suggestions.
You can use them, but you don't have to use them.
You can expand upon them, or add your own twist.
Remember, though, that the focus of your time should
not be on the development and execution of a craft;
the focus should be on the read-aloud and the
enjoyment of the book!
