Activities: Let’s Shop Together: Gather donations from local businesses (pens, pencils, rulers, kids’ meal toys, etc.) and set them out for a shopping expedition for your story time attendees. You can copy the money from the endpapers of Bunny Money, and let the children make a wallet before they go shopping. Ask the adults to help the children count their money and decide what they can afford to buy. Storytime at the Mall: Talk to your local shopping mall or grocery store, and take your story time on the road. Perhaps the stores would do a scavenger hunt or provide a goody bag or treats for your attendees. Shopping Bag Races: This game could be played in a variety of ways. You might divide teams into one adult/one child, hand them a grocery sack or shopping basket and tell them to look for items of a specific color to fill their bags within a certain time limit. You could also make it a relay race and ask the teams (adult and child) to fill a bag with grocery items, run back to the next team, dump the items, have that team race back, and take the items out of the bag and so on. Mommy Mirror: Ask the child to sit facing mom. Ask mom to make a variety of faces (i.e. smiling, frowning, puzzled.) Goal is to have the child make the same face mom is making--like looking in a mirror. Cooperation Station: Set up a craft that requires mommy and little one to work together. Mommy can’t use her hands and can only give verbal commands to little one. This could be an art project like drawing and coloring a flower or a gluing project, in which little one has to place items on the paper where mommy suggests or even stacking cups or other items.
