Storytime Theme: Astronauts
While I’ve done a number of space-themed storytime lesson plans, like this outer space lesson plan, the stars, or moon, I haven’t yet down a lesson plan about the brave people who travel to outer space to learn about what it’s like to live off of our planet. So, today’s…

Storytime Theme: Mermaids
I’m so glad that I continue to find themes that I have yet to explore! Today, that theme is mermaids! How have I never created a mermaid storytime before? Literally insane! So, without further ado, here’s my lesson plan all about mermaids. With this lesson plan, just like my others,…

Storytime Theme: Crocs & Gators
This is a fun storytime to put together and while I don’t necessarily know all the differences between crocodiles and alligators, sharing a book that compares the two, like the Nat Geo Kids book Alligators & Crocodiles, is a great way to learn and share some facts! As I’m always…

Storytime Theme: Small, But Mighty
I decided to focus on bugs for this small, but mighty storytime theme! There are so many little kids afraid of bugs and I’d love to share all the great ways that bugs help the environment and how they are more scared of humans, than we should be of them…
