We did coloring + crafts yesterday for our no school day. Origami tulips, flowers, pinwheels, a butterfly and a free-form creation! The butterflies were a fun "mystery" activity. They colored white squares of cardstock then we ran it throughout the machine. #childrenslibrarian #kidscrafts #origami

We did rainbows after #storytime yesterday. Getting ready for St. Patrick's Day. I love that they do all different things. The last one is gorgeous. I talked to her about it. She did it all herself, even those beautiful clouds! #library #childrenslibrarian #kidscrafts #springcrafts

Went to see the Sandhill Cranes yesterday. Pretty impressive. And loud. But I love the sound they make. Really wanted to get a pic of them flying/landing but I was just using my phone so they weren't great. #easternwashington #sandhillcranes #migration #washingtonstate #westrichland

The cover of the book *Sign Off* by Stephen Savage which shows a yellow diamond shaped sign with a deer leaping off. A gentle hill and a green tree in the background.

A blue paper circle with a child's scribbled drawing in various colors of crayons taped to a white straw on a light wood background.

A red paper octagon with purplish crayon scribbles taped to a white straw on a light wood background.

An orange paper diamond with the word stop and a name starting with "mil" at the bottom right. There are also various crayon scribbles in multiple colors around the words and a heart colored in blue at the bottom center. Taped to a white straw and lying on a light wood background.

Yesterday at #storytime we read *Sign Off* by Steven Savage (which I love) and the kids could make signs afterwards. Sign making is pretty abstract for preschoolers but I think they had fun. I like the orange diamond stop sign! #library #childrenslibrarian #kidsart #kidlit #childrensbooks #booksky

A multi story house drawn by a child in red marker on white paper. Includes a door and a doorbell, multiple windows and a figure drawn near an upper window.

A simple house drawn by a child with blue marker on white paper. Several windows, possibly one with a figure in it. The photographer's striped shoes with sparkles show at the bottom of the photo.

A house down by a child in pink marker on white paper. Includes a door, a doorbell, a rectangular window to the left of the door and a round window in the gable area. There are 5 figures of varying sizes drawn on the front of the house with none of their feet on the ground.

At #storytime yesterday, I drew a simple house then had the kids suggest what to add. Then we went back to the #drawathon. One mom told me her daughter said: I'm going to draw my first house! Hers is the red one. Pretty impressive for the first one, right? #kidsart #childrenslibrarian #library #art
