Preschool Story Time – Themeless & Fun!
I don’t have a huge group of kids for my preschool storytime, but they thought Chengdu was so silly and loved when he fell asleep on his brother. Some were familiar with The Little Mouse and really giggled when the mouse tried to disguise the strawberry with glasses and a mustache…

Toddler Storytime – Themeless and Fun!
I don’t know what was going on this morning, but my kids were absolutely amazing in storytime! They loved Mighty Dads (we created hand movements for each type of truck), loved saying “hello” to the pizza man and really boogied with Shake, Rattle, & Roll. Overall, the kids just did a great…

Toddler Storytime – Tap the Magic Tree (Earth Day)
We’re in a spring mood here (finally!) It’s been raining a lot, the trees are flowering, leaves are beginning to show and I’m ready for the nice weather of spring! My first group of kids were really into Tap the Magic Tree, but other than that were very fidgety and excited and…

Reading Buddies
I’m sitting at my desk for the first time in about a week it feels… and as I sit here finishing up a few last minute things before the weekend begins, there are at least 3-5 pairs of reading buddies meeting. We’ve had a Reading Buddies program for a number…

Sensory-Friendly Storytime: Cars Go Vroom!
I don’t care who you are or how great your voice is, children definitely respond to singing. Anytime I do a sing-a-long book, it works like a charm, kids who normally can’t stop moving, stop and pay attention, some start tapping their feet or clapping their hands mimicking the rhythm of the song,…

Preschool Storytime
I really liked my book choices this week – fun stories that the kids giggled over all storytime! I think they’re favorite was Robot Zombie Frankenstein which also happens to be one of my favorites – they thought all the costumes were so silly! I also chose to use a lot…

Theme-less Toddler Storytime
My storytimes this morning were a little crazy – the first one probably has double the people registered than my second one, but fewer people show up. My second storytime had some walk-ins which made the group bounce off the walls a little. You always end up with one kid…

Family Storytime – Tigers
I must be on some sort of subconscious jungle adventure in my head, as last Saturday I did an elephant theme and today I did a tiger theme. I’m not going to argue as both storytimes have gone really well. Although I didn’t have a large group of kids –…

Storytime Theme: Elephants
I had a storytime on Saturday morning, a fairly new adventure for us as we have shied away from Saturday programming for a long time. But, we’ve been testing the waters this winter/spring and have gotten great responses by offering a storytime on Saturday mornings for families that work. It…

Preschool Storytime – PA's One Book
Like my toddler storytime yesterday morning, this week we presented Pennsylvania’s One Book, Every Young Child choice for 2015. But, unlike the toddler storytime, I also added a number of different elements to really connect with these older children. I’ve been doing a toddler storytime for the past seven years…
