Easter Story Time

Yup, it's definitely past Easter. Trying to catch up on my Story Time posts! Holiday picture books are tough to find - especially for 3-year-olds. They have the tendency to be on the longer side. The kids did pretty well with the two I chose: The Story of the Easter Bunny by Katherine Tegen and … Continue reading Easter Story Time

Skipping the Sunday Quiz to post my Earth Day story time I held this past week for April Vacation. I had about 20 people come, which is a good turnout for such a beautiful day!

Ah, the Farm. Parents are always asking their toddlers what the cow says or what the chicken says or what the horsie says. And there's lots of great farm-themed picture books and songs to choose from. For this session I read Punk Farm by Jarrett Krosoczka, Farmyard Beat by Lindsey Craig and The Red Hen … Continue reading Story Time – Down on the Farm!

Week 1 ~ Elephants I centered this story time around Elmer by David McKee. A sweet story about a patchwork elephant who thinks that it would be better to look like all of the other elephants, so he covers himself in grey mud. When he gets back to his herd, he realizes that without him, … Continue reading January Story Times

I didn't think we could do it, but they came out awesome! Granted, I was the one doing most of the gluing, but the kids were so totally excited to have an actual "Monster Book of Monsters" that they didn't seem to care. When I made my sample, I was so proud of myself and … Continue reading Harry Potter Club: The Monster Book of Monsters
