Storytime Theme: Baking
Personally, I love to cook way more than I love to bake. But, baking with kids is so much fun and it’s a great activity that introduces math and science, creativity, and experimenting all at the same time! Here are a few books, songs, and activities that you can do at the library, at preschool, or even at home on a rainy day! Stop by the library to pick up these books and it won’t cost you much at all!
