Hi friends! Since you can't join us each week for Discovery or Pajama Storytime, or Storytime at your school, Ms. Abby, Ms. Lisa & I are going to record some fun storytimes for you to watch. We will also link activities and an art project below, so after you listen to us read, sing and be silly, you can play and create at home! Please remember the storytimes will only be posted for 48 hours to help comply with author & publisher copyright wishes, but check back each Tuesday for a new storytime.

Fingerprint Baseball Craft (From Crafty Morning)
Supplies:
- White paper
- Red washable paint
- Scissors
- Red Marker
Directions:
1. Draw a circle onto a piece of paper and cut it out. You could also use a paper plate.
2. Take a red marker and draw two curved lines.
3. Dip your pointer finger in the red washable paint and make laces on the baseball. Let it dry and you’re done!
Don’t have any paint? Make your own with three ingredients you probably already have at home!
Mix together equal parts flour, salt, and water (i.e. ½ cup of each). Add food coloring to make the color you want!
