Storytime fun in Dimboola
Dimboola's weekly storytime sessions have been filled with imagination and creativity as they learn about morals, animals and other important lessons.
Looking back at last month's storytime sessions, children had the chance to immerse themselves in a weekly story through craft activities.
'The Naked Sheep' written by Crystal Corocher and illustrated by Revel Challenger was read on May 23.
Set in a salon that offers the latest styles and trends, 'Lighting' Lizzy holds the clippers but sometimes her woolly customers get more than they bargained for.
She gets easily distracted and creates more than a few odd hairdos for her woolly clientele.
After reading the story, sheep finger puppets were created with extra 'wool' to keep them warm in the winter.
The following week, the flip book 'Whose Feet?' written by Jeannette Rowe was read by facilitator Adelle.
A part of a three-book series that teaches young readers to guess what animals belong to the nose, feet or cars in question.
To feel like part of the story, children made their own creative feet.
Dimboola Library hosts Storytime every Friday morning at 10am with all books available to borrow from the local library branch.
