SUMMARY:Food Group: The Cool Bean (Ages 4-12)
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! \nToday we will be reading The Cool Bean! Everyone knows the cool beans. They’re sooooo cool. And then there’s the uncool has-bean . . . Always on the sidelines\, one bean unsuccessfully tries everything he can to fit in with the crowd—until one day the cool beans show him how it’s done. \nCook\, read\, and explore with us in this deliciously fun program inspired by Jory John’s Food Group series\, one of our featured authors in our “Plant a Seed\, Read!” Summer Reading theme. 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 or take it to go\, along with a recipe card to try again at home. This program blends literacy\, hands-on learning\, and healthy habits\, helping prevent the “summer slide” while keeping kids thinking\, creating\, and having fun all summer long! \nPossible Allergens: recipe contains chickpeas\, basil\, parmesan\, olive oil\, garlic\, oregano\, tomato paste \nEssex Library programs are free and open to the public. \nRegistration is required as space is limited. \nClick here to register.
