If You Take A Mouse To The Movies

Recently, my little girl had a play party with her friends. To make it fun and more meaningful, the mothers took turns to tell stories to the children. The children were excited and they too shared some stories and songs. Since it was the Christmas season, I brought along our 'If you take a mouse to the movies' book by Laura Joffe Numeroff and shared this lovely and cute story of a mouse who went to the movies, wanted some popcorn, made a string of popcorn and more christmas ornaments for his tree, then he realised he lost his string of popcorn, he wanted some popcorn and went back to the movies. With the lovely illustrations, the children enjoyed the story.

I always love the idea to read a story and make it fun with actvities so that day, I brought along some colourful papers, lots of glitters (our little mouse friend used lots of glitter too), magic pens and stickers and guided the children to make their own christmas tree ornaments. And of course, there was lovely silver strings too. At the end of our party that day, I am glad the children had some thing they made to bring home and they were excited to go back home and hang their ornaments up :) They didn't ask for pop corn or movies but they sure did asked for more crafts and parties!
