Story Time Theme – Sniffles & Sneezes

Story Time Theme – Grandparents
This was my last week of story times for the fall season and I decided it was high time we celebrated grandparents. My grandparents live half-way across the country and I don’t get to see them as much as I would like. Plus they are getting older and as their…

Story Time Theme – Fruit
Last week’s story time was fun and healthy! We learned all about fruit! From the jungle all the way to the supermarket and the kids really liked the stories. The first two were a little long – they might be better for a preschool story time rather than the toddler…
