Little girls love dressing up and what better way to do it at the library than to be Fancy Nancy! We hosted this program twice at our library in the summer of 2009 for 15 children each and both filled. And while it was clearly a program aimed at drawing in little girls, we did have a few little boys as well. Every child was encouraged to dress "fancy" for the program. We read a few Fancy Nancy stories, then paraded around the library to show just how fancy we were. We were able to purchase tiaras at the dollar store for any child that wanted one. In addition, we also had what I call "Michael Jackson" styled hats in the craft closet that we gave to the little boys to wear. Following our parade, we then created our own accessories- since accessories are a very important part of your outfit, at least according to Fancy Nancy! The girls decorated fans made out of cardstock that were pre-folded and tied at the bottom with a pretty ribbon while the little boys decorated their very own bowtie. Decorations included sequins, jewel colored rhinestones, and foam shapes.
