Storytime Theme: All Things Green
A few weeks ago, I got to plan a really fun storytime program celebrating the color green! I love highlighting different colors in storytime with toddlers because they LOVE to yell out colors! If you only choose one of these titles, you have to check out Where Is the Green Sheep? For whatever reason, kids really, really like this book. It’s so simple and yet perfect for toddlers and preschoolers.
