Storytime Theme: Cinderella

While this one might not be as interesting to everyone, I think it would be a fun program to run as a series as you introduce kids to different versions of the same story. You could easily make this a typical storytime for toddlers or preschoolers. But, you could go even further with early elementary school age kiddos and run a week long or a weekly class about Cinderella Around the World with different stories that share cultures and activities that coincide with each one! There are dozens of Cinderella stories that span the globe. And because it’s a fairly recognizable story, it would be easy to jump into every week!
