Storytime Theme: Chairs
This lesson plan is a little out of left field, but there are a bunch of children’s books about chairs and I thought it would be fun to pull these together, add a few songs, and crafts and boom! – you’ve got a full storytime ready to go! Center the storytime around a version of Goldilocks and find the “perfect” chair for your reader. Or focus on bears and chairs for a rhyming storytime that little ones will love!
