Prab added some fun bear headbands for the children to pretend with while they read aloud. She also offered them real photos of similar animals from North America and her home country of India, and everyone loved learning about this!

Kimmie spent HOURS meticulously creating all of the little pieces of her cakes so the children would be able to build their own cakes during the story. She also had very very real feeling and looking eggs (although they were not real), beautiful felt pieces, song cards, and other baking props to make story time fun!

Jovi made some beautiful spaghetti props out of yellow yarn! She also brought in real pots and panns and utensils so that the children could pretend with her while she read aloud.
