Parting Gift

I would like to thank all of the students along with their families who participated in our first Crockett Library Storybook Character Pumpkin Patch.  They were all so well done and one dad commented that he thoroughly enjoyed making this a family project and hopes we will do this again next year.  We had a total of 49 pumpkins in our Pumpkin Patch and each participant received a special pumpkin book mark like this one from Oriental Trading.

During the week of October 15th, students are bringing in decorated pumpkins for the Crockett Library Storybook Character Pumpkin display.  This idea was courtesy of Cari Young's blog and the inspiration from fellow librarian Shawna Ford.  See if you can figure out some of the pumpkin characters below.  We are having a great time in the Crockett Library seeing all of the creative ideas that have been put into decorating these pumpkins!
