Happy Birthday Madame Chapeau Play Date

It's the end of June, which also brought the end of our focus on Happy Birthday, Madame Chapeau. I don't doubt, that we will pick up the book again in the future, and that Tot 1 will continue to want to make hats, but it is time to move on to our next focus book. Our activities culminated in a birthday party play date for Madame Chapeau. While we donned our favorite headpieces, we read through the book, ate a French treat, and played a fun game.

Tot 1 chose to wear her hat that she modeled after Madame Chapeau's birthday hat, so we have gotten a lot of wear out of that project!

Tot 1 and her friend listened and interacted as I read the story and asked questions.

I ran by a local French bakery to grab some treats to feast on just as Madame Chapeau and her friends did. I served the tots a truffle chocolate tartlet and some pain amande. Tasty!

We had a blast playing our game of Crow and Madame Chapeau. Each tot took a turn pretending to be the crow. The "crow" would hide the hat while the other tots closed their eyes. Then, they searched the park for where the "crow" left the hat. They had a blast taking turns playing this game.

The tots went home with a little memento to get them ready for the upcoming holiday!
