2021-07-06

This week on Page Turner Animal Adventures we are exploring Fish Tales. Jump into our Summer 2021: Reading Colors Your World challenge on Beanstack to view new adventures each weekday! You’ll find them all in the Activity Badges section. We hope you have fish-tastic time with Page Turner, Kenny, and their friends and special guests! We’ve searched the seven seas for some of the ocean’s most talented creatures. Octopus will perform an amazing escape, Mantis Shrimp will prove he’s not just a pretty face, and Angler Fish has an act you’ll definitely want to catch. With all this talent, will Sea Slug be able to shine? Puppetry and live action make this show a watery wonder. CRAFT DAY: “PRINTED” OCEAN SCENES With some recycled Styrofoam and water-based markers, kids can make their own beautiful ocean scenes. AUTHOR DAY: KATE MESSNER Kate Messner is passionately curious and writes books for kids who wonder, too. During our interview, we’ll talk about two books in Kate’s Over and Under series. Visit her website at: katemessner.com MASHUP DAY: COFFEE FILTER FISH With some water-based markers and a little H2O, coffee filters are transformed into colorful fish. GUEST PERFORMER: YASU ISHIDA Yasu Ishida is an award-winning performer who combines traditional Japanese theatre, music, origami, magic, and storytelling into one-of-a-kind performances.
