Book Character T-Shirts

 

Today's Snack: Depending on what you book your group read, you can probably come up with a character from the book that can be represented in frosting on top of a yummy bakery cookie. If your book is about soccer, a soccer ball would work great - or a puppy's face - or a palm tree - work with your bakery employee for a design that will be amusing and delightful. Serve chocolate milk and don't forget napkins so that nobody will miss a single crumb of their delicious cookie.

One of the most enjoyable aspects to belonging to a club is that you get to wear some kind of a uniform. At one of your first meetings, you could all decorate T-shirts with some kind of a book character or book symbols to wear to each month's meetings.

 

The meeting chairman and parents could obtain everyone's sizes in advance, purchase inexpensive T-shirts at a craft store, and provide fabric paints and other materials for the decorating process.

 

Everyone in the club could chip in $3 or $5 or whatever the costs might total.

 

Try to decorate T-shirts with a book's characters using artistic styles, patterns and colors that fit the book's setting. You might try for a portrait of the book's main character, a landscape of the setting, certain vocabulary words or quotes from the book, or one object that figures in the plot . . . whatever suits your fancy.

 

But, just as every book is different, try to make all of the T-shirts individualistic, reflecting each member's personality and interests.
