Kids Breakfast Club

Our little town just started a Kids Breakfast Club a few months back.  It is the first Saturday of each month.  We went to the first one back in Feb.  It was Belle from Beauty & the Beast.  The boys were hoping to see the Beast but it was only Belle.  They still enjoyed it.  On that Saturday we learned that April's characters would be Buzz & Woody from Toy Story.  Oh the anticipation!

At the Kids Breakfast Club, the children gather and meet the characters, listen to stories with the characters acting them out, sing songs, do some other activities and of course have a little breakfast.  The characters there this time were Buzz, Woody, a ballerina and a toy soldier.  They played music and the children had specific dance moves based on the character that went with the particular music.  (some western music they had to gallop and swing an imaginary lasso)  Andrew was really into this, Carson tends to hang close by me.

Here are some photos with their favorite characters.  Carson is snapping, something he recently learned to do.  He is really pretty good at it and can snap quite loudly.

 Before and after the breakfast club meeting, there were various activities set up at tables in another room.  Here is Carson playing with the potato heads.  They had a table with Slinky's, one to make a pin wheel, Buzz and Woody action figures, etc.  There is a group of women hoping to start a science center in our county, similar to Cosi only on a much smaller scale, and these women set up these stations for the children.

I was glad the boys and I had this activity to do.  Andrew was supposed to have his first soccer game of this spring that morning but it was cancelled due to weather.  He was so devastated!  Really nice to have something else to brighten his day.
