Storytime Theme: Dinosaurs
My library is following the Collaborative Summer Reading Program theme this year which is “Unearth a Story” and we are leaning heavily into the dinosaurs! We’ve got blow-up dino costumes, a bouncy dino that you can sit on, and we created our own summer reading t-shirts with a dino holding a stack of books!
Today, I’m sharing a new dinosaur storytime lesson plan that you can use this summer if you’re using the same summer reading theme of even if you’re not! Kids love dinos and a dinosaur storytime is always popular! And if you’re looking for even more great suggestions, why not check out this lesson plan or this one!
