Storytime Theme: Counting
Do you ever wonder how you’ve never posted a theme that’s so simple? I have no idea how I missed a storytime theme: counting! There are honestly, probably hundreds of counting books available. I’ve pulled just a few of my favorites that I think would be fun. I’ve also included just a couple of counting songs, but use your favorites like 5 Little Monkeys Jumping On the Bed. And for this storytime theme, I’ve included some really fun activities that include manipulatives that make counting and learning exciting for kids of all ages.
