pigs and mud story time

This was a fun one, but I think the kids thought they were being set up...
"You want us to put our fingers in the pudding?!
And we won't get into trouble for smearing it all over the picture?"

They were all hesitant at first, but then they really got into it!

I don't normally give snacks at story time, but this one HAD to have the pudding.  Some were very conservative with the pudding on the paper so they could eat the rest.  The ones that only used a little bit were able to dry enough to take home.  The super messy ones stayed with me, but everyone took home pig coloring pages.  Coloring pages are also not something I normally do, but I wanted them to walk out the door with something in their hands.  That way, when they color it later, they think about the fun we had at the library.
We normally have so many more at story time, but since this was so messy, I was secretly glad that there were only a few.
