Pinocchio

Long ago there lived an lonely old carpenter named Geppetto. He made a puppet out of some wood, a ball, and a string. That night, a fairy visited and cast a spell that made the puppet walk and talk. The next morning, Geppetto discovered the animated puppet and named him Pinocchio. Geppetto gave Pinocchio all of his money and sent him into town to buy books for school. Instead, Pinocchio used to the money to buy a ticket for the circus. Two clowns gave Pinocchio a hat and asked him to stay, but he said he must go back to Geppetto.

 

The clowns returned Pinocchioís money, but on the way home he was robbed by and evil cat and an equally evil fox. The fairy appeared again and asked what happened; Pinocchio pretended he had been captured by a monster. Suddenly his nose grew, and the fairy said, Whenever you lie, your nose will get bigger.

Now go find Geppetto; he is out looking for you by the sea. 

Pinocchio was rowing a small boat in the sea when he thought he heard Geppetto's voice coming from inside a large dark cave. He rowed inside, only to find himself inside a whale with Geppetto. He tickled the whale with a feather, and the whale sneezed, sending Pinocchio and Geppetto flying out on to the beach. Relived, Pinocchio vowed never to lie again and then he heard the fairy's voice saying, make that promise and you will become a real boy.

The kids fell in love with Pinocchio, and laughed their heart out when they saw Pinocchio's nose getting bigger and bigger when he told a lie :)

They were later enthralled when they got to make their own Pinocchio's face using play dough and grains...

The real fun had yet to come :)

We ended the the story time with hot buttery pop corns and a lovely Pinocchio video. No wonder the children shouted HURRRAYYYY!!!!
