Storytime Theme: Spots & Stripes
It’s time for a spots and stripes update! The last time I created this storytime lesson plan was way back in 2012! Now, you’ve got even more great book suggestions, some new songs, as well as some crafty activities to try too. I focused a lot on animal spots and stripes, but don’t let that limit you, you can talk about math and patterns, you can focus on polka dots, whatever your fancy!
