What’s black and white and read all over? This adorable penguin storytime! Get it… it’s a book pun! What I love about storytime lesson plans is that you can cherry-pick the parts that you need. You don’t have to use all of it – take the parts that work for…

Storytime Theme: Colors
A classic storytime that could go in so many directions! There are probably hundreds of books about colors for kids out there. Today, I wanted to focus on color mixing, you know, combining primary colors to create secondary colors. And I wanted to share just a few color books that…

But, you can also use the storytime theme: scarecrows for a farm-themed storytime as well, it’s totally up to you! Apparently, scarecrow books are inherently long. This…
