SUMMARY:Food Group: The Toast of the Town (Ages 4+)
DESCRIPTION:Program designed around The Food Group book series by Jory John\, written for an audience age 4-8. Kids ages 4-12 are welcome to join\, and for safety reasons\, kids ages 4-8 must have an adult participate alongside! \nThis summer’s popular Food Group program is BACK for the release of Jory John’s newest Food Group book\, The Toast of the Town! \nMeet Toast. He knows everybody\, and everybody knows him. He pops up wherever help is needed—shoveling sidewalks\, welcoming newcomers\, checking in on neighbors—just because. But Toast wasn’t always so warm and toasty. In his younger days\, he kept to himself\, loafed around\, and mostly just felt a little . . . stale. It took one life-changing moment to help him rise to the occasion. Can one ordinary piece of toast transform an entire community? And can helping others turn out to be the best thing since sliced bread? \nWhat to expect: \nCook\, read\, and explore with us in this deliciously fun program inspired by Jory John’s Food Group series. This program will combine stories with simple snack-making. We’ll kick things off by washing hands and learning a few basic food safety tips\, because every great chef starts with good habits. Then\, we’ll introduce the day’s featured book\, and participants will create a themed snack inspired by the story. While our creations bake\, chill\, or come together\, we’ll gather for an interactive read-aloud of the book. Once everything is ready\, participants can enjoy their snack and can take home a recipe card to try again at home! \nPossible Allergens: recipe contains white bread\, milk\, & food coloring. \nEssex Library programs are free and open to the public. \nRegistration is required as space is limited. \nClick here to register.
