March 2016 was a busy month. With Dr. Seuss Birthday, spring break, St. Patrick’s Day and Easter all being this month [plus a couple of other days too]. So.. What did we do?

First up was Dr. Seuss Birthday, we celebrated by making Lorax cookies, edible Cat-in-the-Hat Hats, a thing 1 and thing 2 craft and a Lorax craft.

We celebrated ” Nation Chip Day” on March 14th, they read some trivia then took a potato chip quiz and them they got to eat potato chips. Do you know what was the very first flavored potato chip? Those who came do now.

Next on March 16th we made “Spring” flowers, two different kids [one they put candy in]. These were really cute!

Up next was St. Patrick’s Day, what to do for that? The kids were out of school so we made St. Patrick’s day headbands.

The adults decorated St. Patrick’s Day mason jars. This craft took a while, since we used mod podge glue on them, but they came out really nice.

March 23rd we did two different things. First up the Story Time kids had their Easter Party in the morning. The the adults celebrated Nationals “Chip & Dip”Day. We had chips and different kinds of dip, what can I say it was good!

Easter craft day on Friday, March 25th [Good Friday]. The kids decorated jars then filled them with candy, they also had Easter paint sheets to paint here or take home. the kids like this craft!

Up Last? March 30th- The Story Time kids made monsters for the last story time in March.

February was Super Bowl time! so we decided to have our own super bowl food party. Everyone was asked to bring what they thought of as ‘Super Bowl” snacks. We had chips and dip, things cooked in dough, cheese & meat and all kinds of good food. Everyone had a great time

The Story time kids got to have their own little Valentine’s party. The got lip whistles, and googly glasses and of course chocolate, along with a Valentine story.

It was February so of course we celebrated Valentine’s day. We made chocolate suckers and decorated red cup cakes. The kids also did a Valentine craft. Of course the food was the favorite part.

What’s coming in March? well the kids are on spring break so there will be some kind of activity for that. St. Patrick’s day is in March so the Adults will have a craft for that. National Potato Chip Day and National Chip & Dip day are both in March so there is something for that, and of course Easter is in March and there will be an Easter craft day.
