We gave the preschoolers three supplies:  paper, masking tape, and crayons.  Here’s what they created!  AMAZING!

3rd Annual Stuffed Animal Sleepover

Wild animals are back in the library!  This year we had cats, dogs, bears, tigers, birds, a wolverine, a turtle, a monkey, a cupcake, a superhero, and even a Pro-wrestler!

After reading The Baby That Roared and Dinosaur Vs. Bedtime, we tucked the animals in nice and snug for the night.









As usual, the animals refused to sleep.  There are far too many adventures to be had in the library at night!

Bear Party!
Cousins playing.
Run, Cupcake, run!

This year had a record TWENTY-FIVE stuffies spend the night!  Thank you for visiting us and making our program a huge success!  We had so much fun!

July Guessing Contest: Campfire Fun

Ah, Summer.  There are so many things to enjoy during these hot, long days.  Swimming, reading, bike riding, chalk drawing, picnics, and of course, camping.  What would camping be without hot, gooey, S'mores?  No fun at all, we say!



Check out the newest guessing contest in the Henry Ford Centennial's Children's Department and see if you can guess how many marshmallows are in this cozy campfire scene.  Hurry, before those pesky critters eat all the goodies!
