 Join us in Centennial Park as we resume our outdoor storytimes in the (hopefully) cooler weather! We'll be in the amphitheater at 9:30am on Mondays for Rattle & Rhyme (0-18 months), Tuesdays for Toddler Time (0-3 years), and Wednesdays for Preschool Storytime (3-6 years)!

 1. Gather supplies.  2. Unwrap one length of duct tape and carefully set plastic bag on top. Go slowly so there are no air bubbles in the duct tape! 3. Unwrap other color of duct tape and tape the opposite side of the bag. 4. Trim extra duct tape off. 5. Continue adding duct tape (You can do all one color on each side or alternate like I did. Trim sides so everything is even.  6. Optional, if you want to store your pencil bag in your binder, mark where the rings are located. 6. Use a hole punch to make holes. 7. Decorate with stickers or permanent markers!

 Use white paint to paint your cloud. Use yellow paint to paint your sun. Arrange your yarn in rainbow order (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple) if you want. When dry, use glue to attach the sun so it's peeking over the top of the cloud (try to line up the hole in the sun to one of the holes in the cloud. Let dry. Fold yarn in half and poke loop through bottom holes of cloud.     Push loose ends of the yarn through the loop and pull tight. Continue until you've used all the yarn you want to use.                                                        Use a longer piece of string to make a hanging string from the top of the cloud.  *Optional* Draw a smile on your cloud and sun!
