This activity was followed by hearing a few stories about sailing following stars.
Here is one of them:
Jump on board with the Butcher, the Baker, and the Candlestick Maker, as
they sail away, at their wives' request, to snag a big catch for
dinner.
This favorite childhood nursery rhyme, full of rich watercolor
illustrations, has been transformed into a fun-filled adventure as our
three heroes find themselves in a mess way over their heads!
How will they ever get home—and what about dinner? A great read-aloud book that will thrill the whole family.
Want to find out WELL you will just have to go out and take a look at the book!
We made boats and sailed them on the Tinissippi River-Compliments of our wonderful Library System.

We had lots of fun even though the river had a few technical problems, but they were quickly resolved!
A really great activity to do with the kids on a hot day to cool off.
