There’s so much you can do with a seasons storytime! You can center on sequence (what season comes after another), clothing throughout the different seasons, nature’s changes, or even what activities animals and humans do in the different seasons.

Storytime: Fall!
The days are already getting shorter and the sun is rising later and setting earlier. Fall is coming and it’s my favorite time of year! Comfy sweater weather, spiced coffees and baked goods are everywhere, the world is crisp and oh-so-colorful, and you can literally smell Fall. And, of course, it makes for a funContinue reading “Storytime: Fall!”
Storytime: Apples!
This theme is sure to be on any daycare’s curriculum! It’s one of the most requested topics on our daycare deliveries in the Fall and after seeing all the great books on apples, I can see why!
Storytime: Storms!
I live in the Midwest and we get some crazy and amazing storms here. I’m one of those people who absolutely LOVES a good thunderstorm. In fact, we’re supposed to get one later today! When I was little, maybe 4 or 5 and probably even before that, my dad would gather up blankets and pillowsContinue reading “Storytime: Storms!”
Storytime: Wind!
I love doing themes on slightly abstract subjects in our world that people take for granted. Wind is a great example of this! Often, we don’t even really notice the wind unless it’s more extreme, so pointing it out and looking at how it interacts with everyday things is really fun. There’s also so muchContinue reading “Storytime: Wind!”
Storytime: Nature!
There’s so much about nature to be appreciative of: clouds, trees, bugs, animals, plants, hiking in the forest, the sky, sun, and moon! Each one of these can be their own separate theme, but I also like doing the broader topic of Nature. Typically, I’ll do this storytime the same day we do our PreschoolContinue reading “Storytime: Nature!”
Storytime: Wolves!
Wolves are my favorite non-domesticated animal (bet you can guess my favorite domestic animal)! They’re a weird mix of mysterious, playful, and powerful that I just find fascinating. I visited a wonderful animal sanctuary in Northern Indiana semi-recently that had a pack of wolves and they were just beautiful and playful! I spent almost anContinue reading “Storytime: Wolves!”
Storytime: (My Amazing) Body!
Learning about bodies is super important for kids and it makes for a fun storytime of movement! Kicking, stomping, jumping, wiggling and waggling! The things our bodies can do are amazing.
Storytime: Sun!
Sunshine! I do love the sun and always feel terrible when I’ve had three (or more) days of rain or during Winter when sun can be hard to come by. But this storytime theme isn’t just good to celebrate the sun and all it brings with it –Life, plants, beach visits, picnics, etc — butContinue reading “Storytime: Sun!”
Storytime: Gardens!
Spring and Summer means it’s time to garden! I love planting my garden and seeing things grow, and even more than that I love eating all the yummy produce it creates!
