Storytime Theme: Cookies
Although I had a fairly small group this morning, it was a wonderful storytime! Everyone was very participative (including the grandmas and grandpas). Of course, how can you not love a storytime based around cookies? The kids thought a cookie-loving cow was absolutely silly and the adults could tell what…

Toddler Storytime Theme: Cookies
This storytime made me soooo hungry! Toddler Storytime Theme: Cookies is definitely a storytime hit for just about everyone! The kids really enjoyed all of the books and were quite interested in figuring out who ate all the cookie dough in Karen Beaumont’s book Who Ate All the Cookie Dough? …

I woke up this morning from a terrifying nightmare about storytime. I’ve had a few dreams about the library, but none that have been as scary as this one! In my dream I was working at my desk when all of these families come into the library ready for storytime…

Storytime Theme: Winter Clothing
I am so impressed with this group of kids, I’ve chosen some longer books and they will sit through them! The kids were absolutely giggling over Froggy Gets Dessed this morning and love doing our wiggle song, “Zoom, Zoom, Zoom” and really liked jumping to Jim Gills’s “Jumping & Counting”…

Family Storytime Theme: Colorful Chameleons
This storytime was awesome! I enjoy my Saturday crowds because they are a lot of families that I don’t see during the week and are usually very into participating. The kids LOVED the fish song and (once they figured it out) the “Mmm Ahh” song too! They were also captivated…

Toddler Storytime Theme: Winter Animals
We had a really heavy downpour this morning, after a two-hour school delay so needless to say I only had six little ones in my storytime. The show must go on and the kids that were there got a little more individualized attention which they all really liked. They really…

Family Storytime Theme: Color Red
Storytime went pretty well today! The kids definitely got Red by Michael Hall. I made sure to talk about it a little bit before we started and the older kids picked up on the fact that the crayon itself was blue, but it’s wrapper was red. We talked about what…

Toddler Storytime Theme: Color RED
My storytime was definitely not my favorite today, the kids didn’t really seem to enjoy the books but were really into our scarf song. I think part of the reason is that we have a little boy in class with a disability who comes with an adult and an aide…
