👻🧟‍♀️ A monstrously fun morning at Littles Play Café at the Coal Valley Public Library ! 🎨💚

Today’s Monster Boo-tique was filled with stories, creativity, and a whole lot of monster magic! 👀

📚 We read FOUR monster books together!
🪞 We let our imaginations run wild playing at the Monster Boo-tique.
🎨 We designed our very own monsters using markers and cardboard.
👐 We sculpted unique little monsters with Play-Doh!

From silly stories to one-of-a-kind creations, our little friends had so many ways to explore, imagine, and play. We love watching their creativity come to life, one monster at a time! 👹✨

Thanks to all our little monsters and their grown-ups for joining us! We can’t wait for our next Littles Play Café: An interactive Story Time + Dramatic Play adventure! 💚
