We are temporarily reviving our Children's Blog to provide some
resources for families who are stuck at home during this period of
social distancing due to COVID-19. We will put together a variety of
activities for you and your families every day at 1:00 pm. Watch for
weekend Boredom Busters on Saturday and/or Sunday. See which
ones you can do, and if you get the chance, share the results with us on
any of our social media platforms, which will be listed at the bottom
of this blog.
Today's theme is Ladybugs!
Did you know that there are more than 5000 species of ladybugs in the world? Or that they are omnivores? Check out these facts and more! We released 3000 ladybugs at the Library last spring! It was pretty amazing!
Dramatic Play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTukwje2iSc
Whether you have a tutu and wings, or just a red shirt and some black circles, try some different ways to create your own ladybug costume and engage in some fun dramatic play! Take a walk through the park and see if you can spot some real ladybugs!
Ladybug Craft: https://kidscraftroom.com/ladybug-hat-craft/
Our story time crew made this craft today via Facebook Live. All you need is construction paper or cardstock, googly eyes, glue, scissors, stapler, and either white chalk/crayon or paint. Add as many embellishments as you want, then rock that ladybug hat!
Ladybug Songs: https://teachingmama.org/5-little-ladybugs-song/
Songs and rhymes are a great learning tool, and fun for all ages. Check out this 5 Little Ladybugs finger play/rhyme, then dance along to Hey, Ladybug!
Hopefully these activities help break up the day, and get your family engaged in being neighbourly!
