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.

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: (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: 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!
Picturebooks to Promote Letter Knowledge
Before kids can begin to read, they need to build certain early literacy skills such as letter knowledge, print awareness, and symbolism. They have to know what the letter A looks like and sounds like. Essentially, they have to know that the letter stands for a sound. I put together this booklist of picturebooks thatContinue reading “Picturebooks to Promote Letter Knowledge”
Storytime: Dance!
Dancing is such a fun and beneficial thing to do with preschoolers! They’re so creative with their movements and most are so happy to show you their moves! That’s why the storytime theme of dance is one of my favorites.
