Went to see the Sandhill Cranes yesterday. Pretty impressive. And loud. But I love the sound they make. Really wanted to get a pic of them flying/landing but I was just using my phone so they weren't great. #easternwashington #sandhillcranes #migration #washingtonstate #westrichland

The cover of the book *Sign Off* by Stephen Savage which shows a yellow diamond shaped sign with a deer leaping off. A gentle hill and a green tree in the background.

Yesterday at #storytime we read *Sign Off* by Steven Savage (which I love) and the kids could make signs afterwards. Sign making is pretty abstract for preschoolers but I think they had fun. I like the orange diamond stop sign! #library #childrenslibrarian #kidsart #kidlit #childrensbooks #booksky

I've been taking some of the tiny pieces of paper little ones scribble on, doodling over them and putting them back on the art trade board. Here are some from this weekend. #doodle #zendoodle #tinyart #art #library #arttradeboard

At #storytime yesterday, I drew a simple house then had the kids suggest what to add. Then we went back to the #drawathon. One mom told me her daughter said: I'm going to draw my first house! Hers is the red one. Pretty impressive for the first one, right? #kidsart #childrenslibrarian #library #art

This is such a cute, simple activity for after #storytime. I cut pieces of cardstock to size to size, let the kids color them and run them through the die cut machine. This is the fingerband bird die from Accu-Cut. Didn't these kids do great birds? #library #childrenslibrarian #kidsart #kidscrafts
