Embracing the magic of fall with pumpkin themed Story Time 🎃

So much fun gathering on the grass at Ivy Station! We shared books about pumpkins from seed to pumpkin patch, pumpkin hunt and jack-o'-lanterns! We danced like ghosts with scarves and played shakers and instruments to pumpkin chants and songs. Then, we decorated pumpkins with stickers! We were back on the grass and so out came the 30 foot parachute, which is always a treat!

Pumpkin Cat by Ann Mortimer
We're Going on a Pumpkin Hunt! By: Mary Hogan Wilcox

Fall leaves and sweet New Year vibes 🍂🍎🍯

The sweetest morning at Ivy Station sharing fall stories including happy new year well wishes for those who celebrate! Shana Tova!

We shared books about Roshana, leaves and apples! We danced with shakers, stood tall and strong like trees with scarves for branches and played with instruments and decorated our own colorful leaves! No parachute this week for safety, since we are gathering on the steps instead of the grass (while the grass regrows)!

"I want my hat back!" 🤠👒🎩🧢

Happy to be back at Ivy Station sharing stories in the sunshine, but I wish I brought a hat!

This week, we shared books about hats! We danced with shakers, peek-a-booed with scarves on our heads and played with instruments and decorated our own pointy hats! No parachute this week for safety, since we are gathering on the steps instead of the grass (while the grass regrows)!

"What a beautiful blue sky morning." 💙☀️

Another beautiful day sharing stories in the sunshine at Ivy Station! This week, we shared back-to-school books, while still taking time to appreciate the world around us. Life can move fast, but taking a moment to breathe, appreciate the sky, and the breeze, and the people around us (this community is so special)!

"You have a place here. You have a space here. All are welcome here!"

We used scarves for the wheels on the bus and the wings of a butterfly. We sang about new friends and played with the puppets. We jammed with instruments and leaped on the parachute! We also made friendship bracelets with schooltime beads!

Books:
Blue Sky Morning by Jihyun Kim Floris Books Publisher Spotlight
All are Welcome Here by Alexandra Penfold and Suzanne Kaufman
Noisy School Bus by Lauren Crisp Tiger Tales

Please make note:
is fixing the irrigation on the grass so sadly Story Time is canceled for the next two weeks! We will gather again, September 16th. See you soon!

Hello Friends 👋🏽📚❤️

Working on something fun + excited to share more soon! I’ve been dreaming, scheming, and talking about this idea for way too long. Finally decided it’s time to stop overthinking and just go for it!

Thank you JKreative Media Team, Intl. and my tiny Story Time friends (and their grownups) for having some fun with me on camera and supporting my vision!

Can you guess what I’m working on? Drop your wildest guesses below 👇😉
