Since this is a special kind of storytime, I talk (mostly to the grownups) a little about ASL and what our goals are for the day. I always let them know that ASL is its own language with grammar and structure just like any other language (though we don’t learn that in our storytimes, optingContinue reading “ASL Storytime: Transportation”

Storytime: Surprise Endings!
I. Love. This. Theme. It’s so fun and giggle-inducing and the kids NEVER seem to tire of being surprised. It’s absolutely delightful. Sure, you sometimes get a kid who accidentally ruins it for others, but I try to ward that off, saying “Now, if you’ve heard this story before, please don’t shout out any ofContinue reading “Storytime: Surprise Endings!”
Storytime: Opposites!
I love this conceptual storytime theme because there are countless rhymes, songs, and books to switch in to keep the theme fresh! And I’m always surprised by some of the opposite sets that kids think of! Let’s dive in.
Storytime: Camping!
Yay camping! Since I live in a smallish town in the midwest, it seems like a lot of our patrons are into camping. Still, there are always some families who have never been so this is a great theme to introduce kids to it or to celebrate fun times with kids who are already familiarContinue reading “Storytime: Camping!”
Storytime: Bugs!
Storytime: Wishes and Dreams!
This is always a fun storytime and it’s so great to hear the wishes and dreams of our kids! Some of them are serious (such as what they want to grow up to be), some of them are silly (like what they’d wish for if they were granted wishes), and sometimes it’s simply that theyContinue reading “Storytime: Wishes and Dreams!”
Storytime: Moon!
I love watching the night sky, but especially the moon. When I was younger, very young, I used to talk to the moon as though it were my grandfather. I’m not sure exactly how I picked up this habit, but it stuck with me for quite a while. Even now, sometimes I look up toContinue reading “Storytime: Moon!”
Storytime: Spring!
If you know me, you know I’m not a fan of extreme temperatures. Because of that, my favorite seasons are Fall and Spring. But even ignoring the temperature thing, there’s just a certain smell, crispness, and feeling to those two seasons. It’s amazing and that’s one of the reasons I love them.
Storytime: Blankets!
This is a great theme for Fall or Winter and can be paired with the topic of “Cozy Things” or even something like knitting or stuffed animals. I like to do mine right around the time we have our first snow.
Storytime: Snow!
Ooook, we’ve had a couple snowfalls already this season, so I guess it’s time! As you might know, I don’t love the winter season, but the first few snowfalls are kind of beautiful and magical. So here are some of my favorite books and songs for a preschool snow storytime theme.
