Storytime Theme: Mustaches & Beards

This is such a fun storytime theme! So many picture books center on mom and child relationships, whereas a few of these focus more on dads (or moose)! These somewhat silly books can make great read alouds for storytime or for one-on-one sittings with your favorite little one. Check out this storytime theme: mustaches & beards for a very hairy book list.

It was actually more difficult to find music, rhymes, and activities to go along with this theme. But, you’ll definitely need mustaches on sticks for props, plus a snack that involves milk for the inevitable milk mustaches too!
