Finger...puddin'?

Cello!
Juniata County Library, what have you been up to? I couldn't have a worse case of spring fever. Please be warm soon, pllleaaassee!!
Last week was our finger-painting week and I decided to take a swing at homemade finger-paints...which turned out to be kind of interesting. Interesting in that they looked and felt like strange bright-colored pudding. I imagined the children diving in and smearing the paint on everyone and everything, but I was surprised at how cautious some of the kids were. Some children went to town, while others preferred to touch the paint only with a paintbrush. Either way, we created some masterpieces. The story we read was called "The Pencil" which was about a penicl that creates a whole world that comes to life only to realize that the world it created has it's own problems that need to be fixed. Soooo true. Better watch out for the eraser! Later gators.
