Storytime Theme: Friendship
Friendship is an important and sometimes difficult part of life and little ones need to know how to behave to be good friends. I selected a lot of really fun books, but you can always add quick little asides about things that make the characters good friends. Add in a few songs and select an activity/craft and you have a quick storytime lesson plan that’s ready for the preschool classroom, library storytime, or even at home. Storytime theme: friendship is a great introduction to what it means to be a good friend!
