Join Miss Laura (and her friend Winnie the Pooh) for a Story Time (Online) all about friendship! Listen to two stories and follow along with two fingerplays. Starting Monday, June 15, stop by the drive-up window at the library to pick up your own DIY Ice Cream Cone craft kit, available while supplies last.

Should I Share My Ice Cream? by Mo Willems
Grumpy Bird

Fingerplays:
Dance Your Fingers
Dance your fingers up
Dance your fingers down
Dance your fingers to the side
And dance them all around
Dance them on your shoulders
Dance them on your head
Dance them on your tummy
And put them into bed

Two Little Blackbirds
Two little blackbirds sitting on a hill
One named Jack and one named Jill
Two little blackbirds flying in the sky
One named Low and one named High
Two little blackbirds sitting on a pole
One named Fast and one named Slow
Two little blackbirds sitting on a cloud
One named Quiet and one named Loud
