Storytime Theme: Badgers

Let me start from the beginning, I usually try to create a blogging plan for the year the previous fall. So, I at least have any idea of storytime themes, book lists, etc. when I go to create content. And while I’d love to say that I’m way ahead of the game, I’m typically writing up content the week before it’s published. That being said, when I realized that I had decided on a storytime lesson plan about badgers, I was confused. What was I thinking?!?! Surprisingly, there are more badger books and crafts than I ever realized! So, without further ado, here is an unexpected animal themed storytime lesson plan for you – badgers!
