Storytime: C is for Cupcake
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker’s man, bake me a cupcake as fast as you can! And don’t forget the sprinkles! For this Storytime, we had fun with the letter “C,” cupcakes, and cats. So, spend some time in the kitchen with your child baking some cupcakes and perhaps, read a book and do these activities while they are in the oven. Happy baking!
Join us Tuesdays, and Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. or Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. in the Community Room.
Ages 2-5
Sing, Talk, Read, Write, Play
Tip
Even the youngest child is somewhere on the path to becoming a reader. As a parent, it’s important to support your child’s efforts in a positive way and help him or her along the reading path. ~Reading Rockets
Activity
When your child is finished with a book, be sure to talk about what happened in the story, and maybe “re-read” favorite parts. Talk about any interesting words or new concepts. Reading Rockets
