Storytime Theme: Bluey
While I don’t have any little ones of my own, I’ve seen my fair share of Bluey episodes and I absolutely adore the show. It’s so sweet and reminds me a lot of tv shows that were on in the early 90s, simple plots, focused on kids while also providing…

Top Ten Tuesday: Satisfying Book Series
I am not great at series and I’ll be the first to admit it! I’ll start a series and love the first book, but then it falls apart! Often, the rest of the series hasn’t been published yet and by the time the next book is published, I’ve often forgotten…

Storytime Theme: Building
It’s time for a STEM storytime and I love that building can be included in the STEM field (think engineering) because kids of all ages love to build and this storytime celebrates the fun of building (and throws in some learning too)! Building helps kids with hand-eye coordination and fine…

As I was finishing up this lesson plan on painting, I realized that I had just created a similar storytime lesson plan last year! So, while there are a few books that repeat on each list, there is a lot of brand new suggestions here to take a look at.…
