Storytime Theme: What Animals Eat
I love when a storytime theme can be used in so many different ways! This theme could easily focus on silly stories about what animals eat – like dragons and tacos, or caterpillars and just about everything, and can easily be focused on nonfiction books about food chains and food webs. What ever way you decide to go, I’ve provided some fun books for each. And when you pair these great titles with fun songs, rhymes, and crafts – you have a storytime that kids will love and families will be hungry for!
