Here are our attendance numbers for the week:
Preschool 28 Kids, Elementary 50 Kids, Two's 20 Kids
Preschool Finale Party:
The preschoolers loved all the crafts, except the astronaut. I believe that the jet packs were the biggest hit of all! They adored wearing the jet packs, most of them didn't take them off the entire time!
We have started taking games outside, to add more items to our parties. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate, so we had to cut down on what we offered to the preschoolers. I do believe that they still had a lot of fun!
Above is the entrance to our star tunnel. It took my volunteer (my mom) and I about three hours to do this. But the kids went bonkers over it! I am trying to salvage it, so that I can turn it into a Christmas tunnel at December. Below is a side view of the tunnel, and the lights run above and on the other side of the tunnel too. The last picture is a view of the top of the tunnel.

We served the same food for all three groups, so that really helped in preparing it all.

Elementary Finale Party:
All of the crafts were very popular with the elementary age kids, except for the constellation weaving. I honestly need to quit trying weaving crafts with my kids at the library, they just don't like them. On the other hand, they went crazy over the shaving cream planets! I highly recommend you do this, we are already planning on using them again, just doing something besides a planet. They were super simple, ours just took a bit longer to dry.

Games...
The best game of all was.....a stomp rocket! I was a little hesitant to do this, but it was a true blast! Word of warning, do not use this near trees, because two of our rockets got stuck in a tree! LOL....thankfully I have two back-up rockets that I can use. I have attached a video, hopefully it plays. If you place the rocket on the launcher near the top, it won't go very far. If you place the rocket near the bottom, it will go extremely far!
We also left the star tunnel out, which is pictured above. I was afraid that the elementary age might not enjoy it, but they loved it!
This is our giant connect four set, which I am obsessed with! Isn't it amazing?
Star Wars Bingo
Time for Two's Finale Party:
The two's also made a torn paper rocket for another craft.
We also left the star tunnel out, which is pictured above, for the two's. Thankfully it survived all week, so I'm happy!
