Storytime Theme: Sniffles & Sneezes
It’s that time of year when sniffles and sneezes abound! And if you work with kids, it’s usually only a matter of time before they share all those lovely germs with you! So, I thought it was time to update my sniffles and sneezes lesson plan with some new books, songs, crafts, and activities. While a little on the grosser side of storytime, I think it’s important for kids to understand how germs work and how to keep their friends and family members healthy, even when they themselves are sick!
