Pack your make-believe suitcase to visit Alaska, a "great land" known for dogsleds, the aurora borealis and giant vegetables. Miss Lisa will introduce you to this northern-most state with a story. Then kids will test out the sleds they have created on their own. Build a small, stuffed animal size sled ahead of time to test together on Zoom. You may use any building materials you have around your house to construct your sled, including but not limited to:

• Cardboard pieces
• Paper plates
• Paper cups
• Aluminum foil
• Construction paper
• Pipe cleaners
• Craft sticks
• Straws
• Yarn
• Building systems

Also find something to make a small ramp that day for testing. Registration begins December 30. Online registration is required in order to receive login information by email on the day of the Zoom storytime. Click here to register.
