Storytime Theme: Hopping
I’ve often talked about how simple animal themed storytimes are to create and offer at your library, preschool, or even at home! But sometimes, it’s nice to find something a little different, and that’s where our Hopping storytime lesson plan comes in. This lesson plan focuses on three animals – bunnies, frogs, and kangaroos – all animals that hop! So grab your books, songs, and crafts and get hopping to fun, active storytime for toddlers and preschoolers alike!
