Puppet show's

We had a great night. I told the story of Hans and the Wonderful Flower to Sage and Ryan using the puppets. After that Ryan and Sage both told their own versions. It is wonderful to see them use their imaginations. Even though Sage will be turning 12 soon, he enjoys putting on a puppet show for his brother and me.

King Winter Rules the Land...

Monday we had a great time making up stories for the puppets to act out. Ryan's story involved the horse wanting to know who King Winter was and went to visit his friend owl to find out. The story then leads them on an adventure. He is getting to be a wonderful storyteller.

We've started having weekly story time again. I love the idea of telling a story vs always reading a story. I told the story of Hans and the wonderful flower from For The Children's Hour. Then we made a flower out of beeswax to go along with the story.
