Storytime Theme: Wind & Clouds
I love incorporating STEM themes into storytime. I think it’s a natural fit for young kids who often spend the entire day asking questions about how the world works. Today, I’m focusing on Wind & Clouds. This is a perfect weather theme that can be used, really, year around. By combining stories and with nonfiction content, kids will be entertained and educated at the same time. Check below for some great ways to extend learning beyond the book through songs, rhymes, crafts, and activities!
