Storytime Theme: Socks & Shoes
This is such a fun storytime for kids and adults alike! Encourage your storytime families to wear fun socks and shoes to storytime to bring this theme to life. Read a few picture books, offer a few songs and rhymes and of course you can try to include an activity or craft with your storytime families too.
An easy activity would be to bring in a laundry basket full of clean socks and allow kids to help you find the matches. Or choose one of the crafts below and let your kids spend time being creative and using their imaginations.
