Suggested Family Activity • Painting 🐟 Fish
The website education.com has a really great idea for how you and your family can paint fish with your fingerprints. Check out a sample picture and instructions here. Did you check out a NERL Story Walk at a walking trail near you this summer? Unfortunately, we have had to take some of our Story Walks down because of damage and theft but you still have another week to check out the story of The Pout- Pout Fish by Deborah Diesen at the town of Tishomingo Walking Trail located at 63 County Road 108 in Tishomingo. (To view a list of the remaining Story Walks, check the list of Story Walks under our Summer Reading Program information at www.nereg.lib.ms.us.) Other fun titles about our fishy friends that you can check out from a library branch to read to your family this week include others in the “Pout-Pout Fish” series, The Pout-Pout Fish Goes to School and The Pout-Pout Fish in the Big-Big Dark, The Birthday Fish by Dan Yaccarino, Hooray for Fish! by Lucy Cousins, The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister, and Ugly Fish by Kara LaReau.
If you are looking for a fishy movie to watch this week, you can also check out Finding Nemo and its follow-up Finding Dory or the classic The Incredible Mr. Limpet with Don Knotts. Children will also love watching episodes of the “Octonauts”, a courageous crew of ocean protectors who travel the oceans and seas looking for underwater animals in trouble. Led by polar bear Captain Barnacles, other crew members include Tweak the bunny, Dashi the Dachshund, daring pirate cat Kwazii, octopus Professor Inkling, Peso the penguin and Shellington the sea otter. Several DVDs are available of this fun series at NERL branches.
