Storytime Theme: Eggs

Spring has sprung! This means it’s time for eggs to start hatching. Today’s Storytime Theme: Eggs is perfect for spring. It’s also a really great theme to incorporate science and nonfiction titles. Our Preschool Explorers program at work that features a mini-storytime with hands-on science experiments for preschooler is extremely popular. This theme could fit right into that type of program.
