Storytime Theme: Butterflies
How have I been doing storytime for years and never posted a butterfly theme? This seems like an obvious choice and I’ve read butterfly books within my bug theme, but I guess I’ve never highlighted them alone! There are so many great books about butterflies and this theme could easily…
