Storytime Theme: Chalk
I love the excitement of opening some new sidewalk chalk and having a large “canvas” to work on! Or when you’re taking a walk and you get to pass some fun sidewalk chalk drawings and messages – it just makes me smile! Today’s storytime is all about the possibilities of sidewalk chalk to encourage creativity and imagination. And the best part, kids of all ages can enjoy sidewalk chalk!
