Storytime with CFC in January

We host a monthy Storytime at the Markleeville Library.
For the month of January we read:



















The children loved looking for the moving mouse on each colored page and had a great time reciting the book from memory.

We made our own little fireplaces to make us feel cozy (since it has been below freezing for the past 2 weeks), with hanging socks and mittens.

Paperboard Fireplaces

You will need:
paperboard
scissors
tape
paint or markers
string
1" clothespins
felt, scraps of fabric or paper
yellow and red cellophane or tissue paper

There is no set formula for how big or small the fireplace is. But we did include the template we created and used.

Be sure both "legs" are exactly the same size and cut in the same place.
