Batman and Puppets

When we discovered that 2014 marked the 75th year of Batman it seemed like the perfect idea for a program. So, Wednesday we had had our Batman celebration. With participants ranging in age from under a year old all the way up to adults, it was a major success. Plus, it was the perfect excuse to wear a costume.

Batman/superhero book display

Arkaham Asylum, photo op

The Streets of Gotham obstacle course

This was the end of the obstacle course and my favorite part - carry a baby over a pool of lava

Where does the Joker belong, other than in Arkham

Participants had the option to have their photo taken with these sound effect bubbles

Mr. Peanut served nicely as The Penguin.

Also this week we had our monthly puppet workshop. As always, the kids had some interesting puppets to share.

This was the original we made as an example

I love the eyes on this one. A little creepy but awesome.

Another dragon

This monster has excellent red eyes and sharp teeth

And this ogre is the complete package: warts, ear hair, snaggle tooth, and (if you look really closely) green glitter boogers crusting its nostril.
