I recently did a program for Open Mike Night. I had teens come and
read
their poetry and be creative. I also had a performance poet come and
they
really enjoyed her. I put different words from a bunch of different
poems
on pieces of paper and made my own magnetic poetry pieces they could tape
onto the butcher paper on the tables. They had a fun time with that.
I am also planning a swing dance class in July, and a motovational speaker
in September. I do a teen book discussion group once every 3 months.
The
first time no one showed, but I think there are some in my teen advisory
council (YAAK) that will be coming to the other ones.

gail and all,
I figured I send to the list as some others might be interested in simple
craft ideas.
our stuff is VERY simple and theme based. I rely heavily on glue sticks, die
cuts and crayons. A great book is Storytime Crafts by Kathryn Totten.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1579500234/qid=988657430/sr=1-1/ref=s
c_b_2/104-4521103-2979928
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1579500234/qid=988657430/sr=1-1/ref=
sc_b_2/104-4521103-2979928>
Here are some of my ideas:
on the farm: sheep coloring page with cotton balls glued on
dogs: headband with floppy ears glued on both sides (works for rabbits too)
pigs: paper plate with pink ears and feet glued on top and bottom, face
drawn on front and tail drawn on back. sort of a 2 dimensional pig :-)
bedtime: glue diecuts (stars, moon, owls) to black paper and color with
chalk. (have also used colored paper and a variety of die cuts to do
farms,
sea life, zoos and bathtime)
birds: die cut of duck, glue on squares of tissue paper, punch a hole, add
yarn to make necklace
frogs: die cut frog glued to paper, curled ribbon as tongue, bug stamps
around frog for him to "catch" with his tongue
hats: prefolded newspaper hats, kids add die cuts and color. Then we have a
"hat parade"
mice: precut hearts of construction paper, add tail and fold in half, glue
fish: predrawn and copied outline of fish bowl, glue in die cuts of fish
snakes: paper bag, glue on precut snake face and body for puppet (works with
any animal you can fashion a face and body for :-) pigs, dogs, cats etc. -
even people)
we also do coloring pages some days, color (or add fancies) to pre-made
bookmarks, cut a coloring page into simple sections and have kids glue them
together as a puzzle and then color.
Any of my prep work is usually cutting tissue into squares (10 minutes makes
enough for the season), making die cuts (I'm near the machine once a week
for collection reasons anyway), and possibly something special (hat folding,
shape cutting, yarn cutting)
the simpler the better!!!
hope this helps - I'd love to hear what other people are doing too

With my little ones I have to have the craft ready. Usually this means
having everything cut out and ready to put together. Their mom's are
usually here, and I have one volunteer who helps. Samples of things I
have
made include:
Butterflies - glue onto egg cartons. They get to decorate the wings
however they want
Daffodils. I give them white paper, a yellow cut out flower and a
little
muffin cup.
Puppets - I have them cut out and they can color and glue on popscicle
sticks
Pizza's - I gave them brown cirlces for the crust, red for the sauce, and
had mushrooms, onions, sausage, etc. cut out. They glued it all
together.
Rainbows - for St. Patrick's day - we colored them and glued a leprachaun
to one end and a cut out pot of gold to the other.
Weather wheels - You have a circle with all kinds of weather, then put a
circle on top with a cut out to let today's weather show through.
Attach
them with a brad so they can turn. Our local weatherman comes on
Tuesday's
with his little girl. He loved this craft and showed it on the 6
o'clock
news and weather.
For groundhog's day we poked a hole in the bottom of styrofoam cups.
We
glued a groundhog to to popsiclye stick and put the end through the
hole. You could push up the stick and the groundhog peeked over the
top of
the cup. The weatherman liked that one too. He told all of us
that
groundhog's day was his favorite holiday.
I get most of my ideas from books, magaziines, etc. Wish I could say I
was
creative, but no such luck. If you want more details, or the books I
look
in write to me and I'll get them for you.

Hello...
I am curious to know how many of you out there limit
children in your Summer Reading Programs to reading
library owned materials versus including books from
home, school, etc.=20
Also if you know the reasoning behind your "policy"
I'd be interested in that as well.
Please reply directly

I keep the preschool craft extremely simple. I have access to many books
(some are my own, some belong to the library) with simple craft ideas. I
also often find a complicated craft that I adapt and simplify for
preschoolers. Almost all my crafts are based on a pattern that I have found
in one of these wonderful craft books. Most of the crafts that we do with
preschoolers involve crayons and glue sticks; occasionally stickers and
sequins. Our parents assist their children with the craft, but most of them
let the child do as much by him/herself as possible. We do not care if the
child cannot color inside the lines, in fact, most of them scribble. We do
not care if they do not color an object the "right" color. We do
not care if
the child cannot glue their craft together with perfect exactitude. We do
care that the child take pride that they were able to make something by
themselves and can take it home with them to hang up (or whatever).

became smaller, then the next largest animal owned it, etc.,
down to the smallest animal where it crumbled into dust.
She believes the theme was noone can own the earth (just like
noone could own the log.) Does anyone have any wonderfully

Hello all-
I have a Girl Scout leader seeking picture books dealing with the topic of
peer pressure for the 9 & 10 year-olds in her troop. To sum up
what is
happening, several cliqueish girls are making fun of other girls' hair,
clothes, etc. and when those girls start the teasing, the rest join in.
I
have found lots of chapter book material; the leader wants picture books
that the girls will be able to listen to in a short amount of time with a
discussion to follow.
I have used A to Zoo and Worth a Thousand Words, but would like to come up
with more titles. So far I've found:
The Brand New Kid by Katie Couric;
Spotty by H. A. Rey;
Elmer by David McKee;
A differnet tune by Bruce Witty
Henry & Amy (right-way-round & upside-down) by Stephen Michael King;
Different just like me by Lori Mitchell;
Stephanie's ponytail by Robert Munsch;
Make a wish, Molly by Barbara Cohen;
The Talking Eggs by Robert San Souci;
Potato Man by Megan McDonald; and
Tacky the penguin by Helen Lester
I know the list seems like it should be enough, but most of these deal more
with individuality and tolerance rather than peer pressure. Thanks for
your
help!

I think I may have done the impossible, stumped PUBYAC! No one has offered
even a guess on this stumper, does anyone have any ideas about where else
I could ask?

Subject: Stumper
Hello all,
This stumper request was forwarded to me from our adult
reader's
advisor but rings no bells. Sorry for the scanty information but this
is
all I have. Our patron is looking for a series of humorous books read in
the mid to late fifites as a young adult about a group of older people who
convert a bus (or maybe more than one) into housing, he remembers them
getting into trouble for parking the bus/houses illegally.
Anyone recognize this?
Thanks for the help.
