Wonderland was Wonderful

On Sunday February 28th the Friends of the Children’s Room (FCR) of Pike County Public Library (PCPL) sponsored a “Winter Wonderland” for elementary school aged students at the First Presbyterian Church of Milford. The FCR couldn’t have planned a more perfect weekend for a winter weather themed program. After days of what seemed like non-stop snowfall and three consecutive days of school being closed, kids couldn’t wait to get out of the house and have some fun! Event organizers joked that when they first planned the event they considered including outdoor snow play but worried that there might not be any on the ground! While there was plenty of snow on the ground, the kids did stay inside and made some “snow” of their own! Arts and crafts activities included: paper snowflakes, snowflake ornaments, and edible snowmen. The children also listened to stories about snowmen and penguins, played “Snowman Says,” (like Simon Says) and enjoyed a snack of cookies and hot chocolate. The FCR would like to thank the First Presbyterian Church of Milford for donating the use of their facility for this event. For more information about PCPL, visit www.pcpl.org or call 570-296-8211.
