Storytime Theme: Lost & Found
Today was such a fun book list to pull together for a lost and found storytime! There are so many great books that go along with this theme and while it was a little trickier to find crafts and activities to go along with this theme, I think I found a couple of great ideas that wouldn’t be too hard to pull off! You could also create a hide and seek game throughout the children’s department, classroom, or home and hide little things and have the kids help you find them! However you create your lost and found storytime – have fun and enjoy!
