Storytime Theme: Harvest
While we’re still in the thick of summer, I know that fall will be here before we know it! Today’s storytime is a perfect one for the autumnal season – all about harvest! These books mostly take place on farms where kids will see pumpkins, apples, corn, and other vegetables. Plus, big equipment like tractors, combines, and things I don’t know the name of! This would make a great storytime near Thanksgiving, especially if you share Harvest Days and talk about how people around the world give thanks!
If you’re not ready to think about the fall yet, I totally understand, just make a note to stop back to Literacious when you’re ready to start working on fall planning!
