Storytime Theme: Monsters
Halloween is tomorrow! I’m not sure how it’s already Halloween? But, a monster-themed storytime is a fun program because it’s a not-so-scary storytime with some really great options! I’m super excited to read Looking for a Jumbie which shows many kids different types of monsters than the ones they’re used to! Plus, anytime I can sing a book (If You’re a Monster and You Know It) it’s always a win! My storytime is still a virtual program, so I won’t be able to do any other crafts or activities, but I’ve included some that you can do at home, preschool, or at your library.
